I had this save problem, and I had to get the loopback interfact working before I was able to do nfs mounts. In /etc/networks, I have the entry: localhost.cscppppc8.dcsc.dla.mil 127.1 where cscppppc8.dcsc.dla.mil is my pc's network name. and in /etc/netstart: ifconfig lo0 inet localhost route add $hostname localhost After I had the localhost interface running, I was able to get the nfs mounts to work.
