In F19 beta ppc64 text mode installation , there is no option for NFS as an installation source type to choose.

boot: linux ip=9.3.110.176::9.3.110.1:255.255.255.0:miz11.austin.ibm.com:eth0:none nameserver=9.0.9.1

You can clearly see it has only http,https & ftp . No option for nfs type.

== Comment: #2 - MANAS K. NAYAK <maknayak.com> - 2013-06-20 11:43:00 ==

I had verified with GUI and it has nfs support. You can refer to screenshots "nfs-install-source-1.png" & "nfs-install-source-2.png" attached to the bugzilla. I can installed with nfs method successfully by choosing GUI installation method.After system boots up , anaconda cfg file (anaconda-ks.cfg attached to the bugzilla) also clearly shows which installation media was used.

# Use NFS installation media
nfs --server=9.3.110.77 --dir=/NFS --opts=""
