Thank you for replying.
I am sharing my understanding of the operation i performed.
I configured Network installation server 169.254.1.2 and exported /export/home/agarg/imag from Server.
Now i make another machine(client ) attached to server to boot via network. Client System was able to boot via pxe and was able to download initrd and install.img images. I checked that it was able to recieve the main kickstart in stage1 of anaconda installer.
After the screen for running anaconda installer , i see below error for installation failure:-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following problem occurred on line 0 of the kickstart file:
Unable to open input kickstart file: Could not open/read file:///mnt/stage2/kickstart/Additional.inc
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I accessed tty2 and check the contents of mnt/stage2/, I see below contents were only present:-
$ ls mnt/stage2/ efiboot.img efidisk.img install.img pxeboot TRANS.TBL
The above is contents of my images directory present in the ISO
I was expecting that complete installation tree should be present on mnt/stgae2 just like DVD. However only images directory's contents is present.
I checked online But could not find the root cause that why images directory's contents is only present in mnt/stage2 .
I will appreciate any help in this. Is there a detailed explanation available for the nfs installation behavior apart from RHEl 6 installation guide?
Please let me know in case further information is required.

Hi All,
Greeting for the day.
I was installation RHEL by using NFS method in a kickstart file
My kickstart includes another kickstart
Below was a snippet of my kickstart
install nfs --server=169.254.1.2 --dir=/export/home/agarg/imag
key --skip lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us
% include /mnt/stage2/kickstart/Additional.inc
%packages @base @supp @core %end
I found that during Network installation, Installation failed with Error:-
The following problem occurred on line 0 of the kickstart file:
Unable to open input kickstart file: Could not open/read file:///mnt/stage2/kickstart/Additional.inc
I login to tty2 and found that only images directory from ISO has been copied to /mnt/stage2 That is why it is not finding the kickstart.
Isn't the 169.254.1.2:/export/home/agarg/imag simply mounted to /mnt/stage2? I don't think anaconda copies anything. And that would also explain why the kickstart file is not there.
