mount NFS during boot problem

[Sergey V Kovalyov <sqk0316@SCIRES.ACF.NYU.EDU>]

Hi,
I have a wierd problem: during boot process mount fails with the following
message:

Starting portmapper... Mounting remote filesystems...
mount: RPC: Program not registered

But after the boot "mount -a" works perfectly.
This runs latest slink from unstable.
I did not have such a problem on a similar machine a month before.

Any idea of what might cause the problem and how to work around it ?

Something, I think, relevant: later in the process netbase starts its own
portmapper.


Sergey.
