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.

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.
