And with some help from a friend, I solved the problem. nfsd was not configured to start on boot. And /var/log/messages doesn't even get "failed to mount" messages if nfsd isn't running. So the server was sitting there silently and the client was silently failing to mount the nfs directory and get it's ks.cfg file. Thanks all, Paul
