>Description:
When mounting NFS dirs, /etc/rc uses (line 173)
	mount -a -t nfs
However, this often doesn't succeed because of NFS errors (which are
NOT the subject of this bug report).
However, in that case THE ERROR MESSAGE DOES NOT TELL WHICH MOUNT
PRODUCED THE ERROR, BECAUSE '-v' WAS NOT SPECIFIED IN /etc/rc.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the Box in an environment whith many NFS mounts
>Fix:
Use
	mount -v -a -t nfs
in /etc/rc
Better: modify mountd to produce sensible error messages...
