I had set up an NFS server (800 MHz) and client (500 MHz), which was all working fine. At boot-up it nfs-mounts two nfs file systems. Today I replaced the client 500 MHz with a 2 GHz Pentium 4 PC. Now the client gives the following during boot: -------------------------------------------------------- [...] Doing initial network setup: hostname. rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 147.47.254.184 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 147.47.254.255 inet6 fe80::2a0:b0ff:fe0e:3a95%rl0 prefixlen 64 tentative scopeid 0x1 ether 00:a0:b0:0e:3a:95 media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP status: active lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 add net default: gateway 147.47.254.1 Additional routing options: TCP keepalive=YES.

Doing additional network setup: ntpdate portmap. Starting final network daemons: nfsiod NFS access cache time=2. [...etc...] -------------------------------------------------------- There is the "Mounting NFS file systems:" for a long while before the RPC message comes. Strangely enough, the nfs file system is mounted at the end of the boot-up; so why is there this RPC message and the long wait for nfs? I have no clue what's going on here and have also no idea in what direction I should go for solving this. Any hints? Thanks, Rob.
