Which distribution are you trying to install? I think it must be the nfsmount
tool that fails, or at least I can't seem to find an earlier point where this
particular format would be expected. Yet at least sid's nfsmount from busybox
seems to do hostname lookups. But that might not necessarily be true for current
stable/squeeze, let alone lenny.

Thanks a lot,
Michael
