There is an example of using "cobbler import" to do what you are looking for in
the getting started page

What if you don't want to mirror the install content on your install server?
Say you already have the trees from all your DVDs and/or CDs extracted on a
Filer mounted over NFS somewhere. This works too, with the addition of one more
argument:
cobbler import --path=/path/where/filer/is/mounted --name=filer
--available-as=nfs://nfsserver.example.org:/is/mounted/here
endQuote
"cobbler import" is a wrapper for other cobbler commands so if does not do
exactly as you want you will need to dig into the details of "cobbler distro",
etc. to customize it.

Subject: Installing from NFS?
Hi!
Is it possible to replace the http repositories in the kickstart file
from cobbler with nfs or other sources?
In my case Cobbler does all the work. Import of distros, local mirroring
of repositories and so on. But everything is saved on a NAS.
The NAS is much faster when accessed via nfs directly instead of http
via the cobbler server.
So is it possible to turn this:
url --url=http://cobbler.server/cblr/ks_mirror/os1
repo --name=repo1 --baseurl=http://cobbler.server/cblr/repo_mirror/repo1
Into something like this:
url --url=nfs://nas.server:/ks_mirror/os1
repo --name=repo1 --baseurl=nfs://nas.server:/repo_mirror/repo1
Thank you for any help in advance.
Best regards
mad
