About a problem getting NFS going on a DN10000.  

I had exactly this problem when I installed NFS.  It turned out
to be that NFS was very fussy about where mtab AND mnttab were,
and that mnttab was the same as mtab.  Here is what our working
setup looks like:

% cd /etc
% ls -l m*tab
lrwxrwxrwx   1 none      21 Jan  4 16:21 mnttab@ -> `node_data/etc/mnttab
lrwxrwxrwx   1 none      21 Jan  4 16:21 mtab@ -> `node_data/etc/mnttab
% cd \`node_data/etc
% cat mnttab
/dev/wn0a / 4.3 rw 631485356 0 0
foo:/bar /baz nfs rw,bg 631485621 0 0
...

Good luck!
