SUMMARY: non-interactive jumpstart

Thank you all for the rapid and useful replies. I received a number of
potential solutions, and spent an hour or so testing them all out. The
solutions I chose were:

1) hardcode NFSv4 domain to mydomain.com, instead of selecting "dynamic". We
don't use NFSv4 anyway, so I disabled it in a post script by setting
/etc/default/nfs NFS_*_VERSMAX=3.
2) I set timeserver=localhost, which tells jumpstart that the local clock is
assumed to be correct. No one could provide information on other accepted
values of the timeserver variable (IP addresses for ntp servers? something
else?). If anyone happens to know, it would satisfy a curiousity :-)
