I was able to complete the installation on Friday. Two things I did differently that were not mentioned in the quick start guide were to disable requiretty in /etc/sudoers and to set up NFSv4 correctly (i.e. set up a global root directory with fsid=0). I'm not sure how much impact the sudoers configuration had on my problem but I'm pretty sure the NFS setup was the main issue.
