All you need to do to NFS mounts like that automatically is put a line
like,

  192.168.1.1:/         /mnt/router   nfs    rw    0     0

In /etc/fstab.

portmap or whatever the RPC mapper is called on that machine must be
running. Typically a mountd and nfsd processes must be going too.

Are portmap and NFS daemons running on the Linux machine?
