When trying to mount nfs shares that are located on different BSD's from Debian Sarge, I get the mentioned error and the following:
portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -5). I've since had to set 'noauto' as an option for the nfs share in fstab, as the error may take close to a minute, and slowing down the boot process. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
