Hi...
When I do a 'mount sys:/usr/home/dir /mnt' from a FreeBSD client to
mount a directory on a FreeBSD server (where I think I have NFS server
properly enabled on the server), the mount command hangs, no errors or
hints about what's wrong. I have also checked that NFS client is
enabled on the client (via the rc.conf nfs_client_enable option).
I have checked the FAQ, specifically sections on networking and
NFS. From the FAQ, I tried using the -P option, which seems to help
Suns and a few other vendor types to work with FreeBSD, but I still get
the same hang.
I have rebooted both the client and server after all config changes
had been made, so am pretty sure it's not just an error getting the
daemons properly started.
I've done tons of NFS with SunOS, Solaris, Network appliance, etc,
and am clueless why this isn't working. What am I missing here?

==> I'm running FreeBSD 3.2 on a server:

==> Here's the /etc/exports file on the server:
#The following examples export /usr to 3 machines named after ducks,
#/home and all directories under it to machines named after dead rock stars
#and, finally, /a to 2 privileged machines allowed to write on it as root.
#/usr huey louie dewie

# You should replace these lines with your actual exported filesystems.
