If a user boots with an NFS root mount, and does not specify
UDP or TCP, what is the default transport protocol used?

If I user does: "mount -t nfs ...."  or "mount_nfs ...."
from the command-line, and does not specify UDP or TCP, what is the
default transport protocol used?

I would like to see the default become TCP in both cases.
It would solve a lot of "FreeBSD out of the box" problems when interacting
with more modern NFS servers.
