If these mount points are not able to be mounted during installation time they result in a negative amount of space requirements for storage calcualtion. This results in being unable to progress the install. In my case the mount points were not even to any location that the installation may have written to, they were places like /nfs/foobar/dir and /nfs/foobar. Also the reason they would not mount was due to the use of a short label for the hostname (which has yet to be setup in /etc/hosts) to that the 'df' output looks pretty. So the issue here is that the system could ignore mount points that are not required by the installation process (since they are not part of the normal file system paths). It shouldn't mark the storage requirements with a negative figure, this is non-intuative as to the real problem. Which is that it the installation has been unable to mount/verify the NFS server.
