(Even /usr/lib/librpcsvc.so.5 is present, not that it is used for mount_nfs.) It seemed odd for mount_nfs to only be for rescue activities --or to use /rescue/mount_nfs as a /sbin/mount_nfs replacement. But I'm well outside my normal subject areas. I accidentally ran into this while trying to see if I could figure out how to do a basic RPi4 EDK2 test, hoping that, if I could, I could also later do so for the RPi5. (Work is being done on the C1 and D0 RPi5 EDK2 and a request for testing was made.) (While I have access to the 2 types of RPi5, I did not have background in the likes of using httpboot, ipxe (or its snp variant) that are involved in the request. My explorations also wondered into nfs booting a bit, not that such was requested. I will not being doing an actual nfs boot, though I might pretend to start such a sequence in what I do.) -- === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.comhome | help
