Could you set up an HTTP or FTP server on your NFS server if this
problem can't be fixed? You don't even have to do this as root, an HTTP
server on any TCP port will do.

This might be a problem with the NFS version. Could you open a shell
from dbootstrap and try to manually mount the NFS filesystem using

mount newton:/cdrom/cdrom0/dists/woody/main/disks-s390/current \
      /instmnt -o nolock,nfsvers=2

and then try to continue the installation? Please tell me if this works
for you. We might have to disable NFSv3 for the installation system in
this case.
