It the mount point is in a rpm package, it can be used both in kickstart file and from yum command line. In addition yum update can be used when the name or ip of nfs server is changed; Just create the new release of the rpm package which holds new mount point deification. In stead of nfs, you can consider smb or iso images as examples.
