It is in wcarchive.cdrom.com under the ports directory of FreeBSD-2.0.
Should also be on the 2.0 CDROM. I can't check it, someone has borrowed
my 2.0 CD and not brought it back yet :-). But you need that only
if you are running pc-nfs clients. If you want to mount your disks
on other unix machines, you have all necessary software in the base
distribution.

Do you have a /etc/exports file created ?

something like a line:

/usr/src tandon

specifies in my /etc/exports file that the filesystem /usr/src can
be mounted on the machine "tandon".
