Hi -
   I'm running a network between (only) two 386bsd machines.
The network works fine with FTP, Telnet, X, etc.  But, I
cannot get NFS running between them.  When I try to get
the NFS server started (either in the /etc/rc file, or manually),
after I start portmap, mountd quits with "...Can't register mount",
and nfsd quits with "...Can't register with portmap".
   My kernel does have the NFS option enabled (at build time).
And my /etc/exports is valid, I believe.  The kernel uses
the current (beta?) patchkit.

   Does anyone have any ideas?  It's probably something simple;  I'm 
fairly novice when it comes to Unix networking.  Any pointers
are appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
