Hello all,

I've got FreeBSD finally running on my poor PS/2. (It's a dog, but running
FreeBSD on it is much more interesting than DOS.)  However, since it's
only got 80 meg of disk space, I really need to be able to mount parts of
my SPARC's disk for more space.

When I try to mount it, though, I get the following error:

NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

Any ideas what's causing the timeout, and/or how I can fix it?

Thanks!
