I am trying to install the net install version of 5.5 from an NFS share that I setup with freenas. I have fully functioning DNS (hosted on freebsd) and can mount the iso share on another centos box with the command mount nas.mydomain.com:/mnt/iso1 /mnt/iso1 on that machine.
The nas host in question is a freenas which I believe is NFS 4. I can / will verify if someone would care to respond to this thread.
but when I go to do the same thing in the centos net install I get an error stating simply: "that directory cannot be mounted from the server".
in the settings I have the following values:
NFS server name: nas.example.com CentOS directory: /mnt/iso1 NFS mount options (optional):
I have also tried it by ip just to be sure:
NFS server name: 192.168.1.250 CentOS directory: /mnt/iso1 NFS mount options (optional):
Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me get going?
Thanks

Is the FreeNAS configured to permit the new machine you are building to mount the share?
http://freenas.org/documentation:setup_and_user_guide:services_nfs_shares shows where the settings for that are...

embarrassing, but it turned out to be a bad nic. I found a full os install cd and did a complete OS install. the nic would not come alive. I popped the drive out of that box along with the ram and put it into another box just like it and everything started working. sorry for the wild goose chase

I guess you need to check the log files on the server for any clues
Also, check the installer logs via ALT-F3 and/or ALT-F4 for any other clues.
