It sounds as if (perhaps) you have not reconfigured your kernel to bring
in the tcp/ip and (if needed) nfs code. This is described in the release
notes. If you have not done
    newunix nfs
    autoconfig -u -v -o /unix -S /etc/startup
    sync ; reboot
at all on your system then you need to. Again, see your release notes.
