So I am attempting to mount an NFS volume over local ethernet to my
machine.  I issue this (as root):

mount -t nfs -o intr,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 <hostname>:/<path> /mnt

And it always returns: Device not supported.  Well there is no
explicit NFS device, is there?  Why is it saying this?

I issue showmount -e <hostname> and it tells me that the volume is
exported and ready to mount for anyone.
