Sorry for the misinformation.  BOOTP support in dnsmasq provides a
TFTP server.  Are you sure the reference to NFS in the kickstart docs
shouldn't really be TFTP?  In any case, the BOOTP RFC seems to suggest
that alternate protocols are possible.  Try using the dhcp-boot
directive in your dnsmasq configuration.  Also try reading the
excellent man page provided by Simon (dnsmasq's author).
