The problem occurs when attempting to mount /usr via NFS during the 3/50s boot procedure. Instead of the mounting we get the error mount: foo:/export/exec/sun3 server not responding RPC: Unknown protocol Yes, I saw the same thing just this last Sunday when I installed it. The problem I had was a Sun4/110 4.0.3 server trying to serve a Sun3/50 4.1 client. The problem was the mount command itself -- apparently 4.1 believes in some things not known to 4.0.3. I backed out to a SunOS 3.5 mount command for the 3/50 and everything worked just fine thereafter. I just had to remove the -n option from the mounts in rc.Xboot, and put ">/etc/mtab" above the mounts. Very nice. A _very_ fast X terminal.
