When installing via NFS one does need to have a bit of patience during 
the early parts where it uses TFTP to pull the LIC and load enough to 
get you to the "Install the LIC" screens. However if your network is set 
up properly and is GbE to a local partition once you get your first 
screens on the console, from there it's pretty quick.

Note that the NFS install is all 'Network' until you get into IBM i 
itself and then proceeds mostly like Optical through the service tools 
LAN interface.

I do not recall sitting at C9002AA5 for any extended time and I've done 
dozens of these now at i 7.1 7.2 and 7.3.
