OK, OK. So I got the specific daemon wrong. The overall problem still
exists. I think I have pinpointed the location however...
"mount -a -t nfs" should go anywhere in /etc/rc after the following
section.
# Portmapper should always be run, to provide RPC services for inetd.
if [ -x /usr/sbin/portmap ]; then
echo -n ' portmap'; portmap
fi
In the /etc/rc installed with FreeBSD 2.1.0, it doesn't. The nfs
mounts are attempted before portmap is started.
