Hi James

What version of mount? I've only used NFS at V4R3 & V4R4, but had problems
when upgrading Linux beyond Mandrake 7.0. Just wouldn't work with 7.1 or
7.2, and still no joy when moving to Debian 2.2. In fact it's only
recently started working again (Debian unstable), though I still get your
second message at boot up when my NFS shares from the AS/400 are mounted
on my box. While the default mount was failing, I just used the mount
binary from Mandrake 7.0 to get it going. If you don't have an old
version to try, my old one is at http://www.dbg400.net/download/mount70
which was set like this on my box:
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root        48864 Jun 29  2001 /bin/mount70
