[COLUG] FW: RHEL5 NFS install - not able to mount share

[Jonathan Ryan]

That e-mail flew away before I was done.  I wanted to add that I
confirmed the NFS share was good by mounting it from a third machine.

Thanks,
Jon

Subject: RHEL5 NFS install - not able to mount share

Good evening/morning everyone.
I'm trying to roll out RHEL5 across about 20 servers.  I installed one
off CD, and set it up for an NFS install according to Red Hat's guide
(use dd to make .iso files of the install CDs, export that directory
through NFS).
I ran the installed with linux askmethod, choosing NFS image, on the
second box, but the installer couldn't mount the directory.
I resorted to a CD install, and the target machine has fine network
connectivity now.
The servers are dual-homed.  Some Google research reveals this _may_ be
a problem.
Does anyone have any hands-on time with this type of installation?
