The '--dir=' argument is the path to the distro directory, not the path 
to the kickstart file - i.e. it should be:

  nfs --server=10.112.16.33 --dir=/nfs/os

I don't know if the contents of your /etc/exports file above is a typo - 
but it should be "/nfs/os" not "/nsf/os"

If your kickstart file is under /nfs/os/ on the same server, then the 
boot command line syntax should be:

  ks=nfs:10.112.16.33:/nfs/os/ks.cfg
