Additionally, I had to add the kernel module for the NIC (in my case: "insmod=tg3") and also some SATA and SCSI modules to get the installation working. You may also try to set "netdevice=eth0".
BTW, when the red screen appears, you may press <Ctrl>-<Alt>-F9 and try to mount the NFS installation source manually, just to see whether this works.
I did try netwait=30, netdevice=eth0, and tried manually mount of installation source, none of them work.
In the <Ctrl>-<Alt>-F9 console: Have you tried to "insmod" your NIC driver? What does "ifconfig" tell you? Can you "ping" any computer in your subnet?
