Hello networld!
I have tinkered a little with NFS on my trusty ULTRIX steed.
I would like to have a 386BSD-rig as NFS-client on the ULTRIX can.
I have set up the ULTRIX machine as it should be set up and done this
to the 386BSD:
In netstart I have added these rows last:

if [ -f /usr/sbin/portmap ]; then
        /usr/sbin/portmap; echo -n ' portmap' > /dev/console
fi
if [ -f /sbin/nfsiod ]; then
        /sbin/nfsiod 4 ; echo -n ' nfsiod' > /dev/console
fi

and my fstab looks like this:
/dev/wd0a               /               ufs rw 1 1 
/dev/wd0h               /usr            ufs rw 1 1 
/dev/wd1a               /usr/src        ufs rw 1 1 
enigma:/usr/local       /usr/local/enigma nfs ro,bg 0 0

ps -lax shows nfsiod and portmap.

While booting there are no objections from the operating system but 
a df shows that the remote file system did not mount.

Trying mount -a gives this hostile message:

/dev/wd0h on /usr: Device busy
/dev/wd1a on /usr/src: Device busy
NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered

The first two lines one can relate to since /usr and /usr/src in fact
are mounted. The last line is harder to cope with. Please help. 
This is a silly question, prehaps, but then again, I am a silly person.

If someone had mercy on me and sent me a clue mail, I would be most happy.
