Stalled at nfs_boot_init failed

[cawopth]

I'm trying to install using iATKOSv2 on an asus p5n32. Currently at the boot prompt I'm putting

 

nforce_core rd=disk1s2 -v -f -x

 

Disk1s2 (third partition of the second disk) is fat32 formatted because I understand that once I get to the installer I will be able to reformat from fat to hfs+, and gparted is unable to do hfs+. However it's hanging after

 

nfs_boot: networking is not initialized

panic(cpu 0 caller hex#): "nfs_boot_init failed with 6 ...

 

Any suggestions? Let me know if there's any other information I can offer.

 

First disk: partition 1 windows xp, partition 2 ubuntu os

Second disk: partition 1 windows home (i.e. usernamefolder), partition 2 ~
