The filename and next-server settings are usually used for PXE - the
location of the kickstart file is passed on the command line by the boot
loader (PXELINUX, ISOLINUX etc.)

nfs --server nfsserver.example.com --dir /redhat/ES3.0 [/RedHat/{base,RPMS}]

Watch the syslog output on the server (/var/log/messages), watch the
virtual consoles of the client (Alt+F2, Alt+F3 etc.)
