I am not aware of any work done on amd to get it to work for NFSv4 mounts.
>From what I can recall, amd uses the old mount(2) syscall instead of
nmount(2). It would need to be converted to use nmount(2) so that it
could do NFSv4 mounts, I think (without looking at the code).

I once looked at the amd sources and decided to "run away..", so
good luck if you try and convert it.
