At some point in the recent past (can't remember what version) I was
seeing portmap errors. The problem was that the particular version I
started with had a bug (in sysinstall) that resulted in an /etc/rc.conf
that did not initialize the loopback interface lo0. The
network_interfaces line should either be set to "auto" or have an explicit
list of interfaces with "lo0" at the end. In my case the particular
FreeBSD version that I started with (I think it was 3.3) left the "lo0"
out during install. I never noticed the problem until much later when I
went to enable NFS and portmap gave me fits.
