Are you testing the NFS with a running machine?  Sorry if this is a
stupid question, but...
On a machine you know works and is on the network, just try mounting
your NFS server.

# mount 10.47.0.150:/{mount/point} /mnt

make sure you have your exports set up properly.  I know you are trying
to do an NFS install, but I would say start from wether or not it works
as an NFS server then try the install.    If that is what you are
already doing, I must have missed that, sorry.

You may want to send your /etc/exports to make sure it is set up
properly (not to say you couldn't do it, just to make sure).

You might also want to make sure all necessary services are running for
NFS server, you could use
# rpcinfo -p 10.47.0.150
from a working machine.  Make sure NFS is running, this will make sure
nfs is seen from the other machine.  You will also have to have mountd
and possibly portmapper running, but I don't remember right off hand.

If you can do all that, it may be how you are trying to call the mount
point from the install, I have made that mistake before.

Just trying to help.
