      Kickstart installations of RHEL 9.4 and 9.3 show an issue fetching the kickstart when retrieving from NFS source, however, the script is retrieved and the installation is able to proceed.

      This appears to have started in RHEL 9.3 and continues in 9.4. Testing with 9.2 and earlier versions does not show this same result.
