Many thanks for the response. I did read that when I first started the project, I have the path and the server name correct.
Are you saying that I cannot run KS unless I have a DHCP server setup that will automatically propogate the IP, Gateway, Subnet, etc of the new server I am trying to setup?
I am not sure what you meant by "so you need to have a dhcp server for your ksdevice network settings"
Here is my Kickstart .cfg file.

ks=nfs:<server>:/<path>
The installation program looks for the kickstart file on the NFS server <server>, as file <path>. The installation program uses DHCP to configure the Ethernet card. For example, if your NFS server is server.example.com and the kickstart file is in the NFS share /mydir/ks.cfg, the correct boot command would be ks=nfs:server.example.com:/mydir/ks.cfg.
so you need to have a dhcp server for your ksdevice network settings.
