Hey that worked.  Wonder why the "mount" command cant do it all.

Now I am trying to mount the FreeBSD drive on the linux machine and
running into a slight problem.  I created an /etc/exports file with
the following line :

/                                linux1.mydomain.com(rw)

and then when I try to mount it from Linux side using :

mount FreeBSD1.mydomain.com:/ /mnt/freebsd1      I get the
following error :

mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered

I noticed that my machine wasnt running nfsd by default so I went
ahead and started it and then ran the command again on the linux
with exactly the same result.

Any help would be appreciated.
