+I have never had much joy with boot.iso using NFS either -  so I use HTTP.
+
+I run apache on the machine with the mirror and link the mirror tree 
+root to /var/www/http/pub
+
+Then, using boot.iso select:
+Installation Method: http server
+Network Connection Type: static
+IP of this machine: (I.P. of machine being installed)
+IP of DNS (normally router IP
+IP of default gateway (normally router IP)
+Proxy settings: leave blank
+Specify the mirror manually
+Http server - enter IP address (only) of server with mirror
+Mageia Directory - enter full path from server root e.g.
+pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/2/x86_64
+
+that works for me ;)
