When attempting to do nfs installs (20080317 tree), it looks up the name given for the NFS server with a /dev/ prepended to it: Mar 18 04:14:49.318 queries: info: client 192.168.1.106#55651: query: /dev/monster.rmrf.net IN A Mar 18 04:14:49.320 queries: info: client 192.168.1.106#40458: query: /dev/monster.rmrf.net.rmrf.net IN A The behavior is the same if the IP address is used instead: Mar 18 04:11:44.413 queries: info: client 192.168.1.106#38815: query: /dev/192.168.1.9 IN A Mar 18 04:11:44.415 queries: info: client 192.168.1.106#36875: query: /dev/192.168.1.9.rmrf.net IN A
This should be fixed in anaconda-11.4.0.54.
