As a first step - I'll test a static mount and check the list of
exported filesystems on the Sun. Does a simple "mount" work?
What about "showmount -e sun-machine"? "rpcinfo -p sun-machine"?
What about logs on the sun machine? Does it mention your Debian
box?
Another thing - as far as I remember (last time I ran amd on Linux was
about 4 years ago on Linux 0.99p?? :-), amd can be extremly verbose
if you ask it to - check the options for debugging info.
Hope this helps,
