Error while installing RH9 over the network using etherboot


Hi,

I am trying to install RH 9 image from a server that acts as a DHCP
server for the clients. All sources from the RH 9 CD Rom are on the
server that is exported via NFS.
This part looks okay.

When I try to run download the image (via etherboot from the client),
I get the following error.

Loading <IP Address>:/mnt/server_ks/ks.cfg ........
Unable to load file.

I am attaching the ks.cfg file. Please let me know what I am doing
wrong.
The permissions look okay and showmount -e on the server returns
/mnt/server_ks * (which is expected)

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If folks here have used
something other than etherboot, I would appreciate comments /
suggestions on your experience.

thanks
Parminder
(I removed the name of the server)
