Just for clarity, this part is on he laptop, yes?
So the "localhost:" implies that the laptop is mounting *from* NFS
(ie: client). It's not. It wants the CD.
The "vers=3" also implies NFS (client).
Then you get "mount.nfs: access denied", so yeah, the laptop things it
is importing an NFS filesystem. It's not.

Perfect. So do that.
NOTE:
You may also need an 'exportfs -a' after mounting the CD.
Your laptop, being the NFS server, needs to serve out the contents of
the CD, not the empty directory over which it got mounted.
VERY LIKELY, there was an exportfs operation before you mounted the
CD, so your NFS server code still "sees" that empty directory.
NOW ... to the installation end.
You should be able to (from a shell) ...
mkdir /tmp/testit
mount thelaptop:/tmp/iso /tmp/testit
What happens from that?
