I am trying to mount an nfs drive in the post kickstart section. I am getting an error on "service nfs start" about cannot register service RPC

What do I need to start first?

ifup lo service portmap start mkdir /path mount server:/path /path

And you don't want 'service nfs start', that is for exporting filesystems (starting the "nfs server", if you prefer).

Make sure the nfs-utils package and any other packages needed for nfs to work are installed before you get to %post. I do not remember needing to worry about this in C4 and earlier but it bit me when I did my first kickstart install of C5.
