Thanks everyone, especially James Carlson whose second posting about lofiadm isn't showing up on this thread for some reason. I got the modified x86.miniroot installed, and trying the kickstart again. However, I'm still getting the 'Not owner' problem during pxe boot, which tells me that for whatever reason, it's probably not using the /etc/default/nfs file for the nfs client that the kernel is using the wrong nfs version (i.e., not version 3). I'm in miniroot during the install (doesn't behave like I'm chrooted into /tmp/root), and it's confusing. Root is mounted on /tmp/root and I can create a directory like /tmp/root/install and mount the dhcp/nfs (linux) server using the -overs=3 in the mount command. However I can't create any folders in, say /mnt directory. I guess what I'd like to know now is what is the installation mount point default onto which the install_media nfs share is mounted? If I can know that, most likely I can resume install after the manual mount. Or if there's a way to tell during install where the nfs share is mounted, manually. Many thanks to everyone again.
