Actually, someone change the above line, and mounting no longer worked.
Instead it was causing a "Not enough memory" error when you try to 'ls -l' the
directory.
I have changed the 'options' to
options = bg,hard,intr,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,vers=3,proto=udp
which does mount ok, I can view the CD contents. However when I try to copy the
contents of the CD onto the hard drive, it dies trying to copy the sub-directories.

I have not tried soft mount because the NFS how-to recommends to never use it,
otherwise you risk file corruption.

Because it's related to the software that uses the CD to do updates.
There's also /ovid/cd1 and /ovid/cd2.
