I am nfs mounting remote partitions on the host with my tape drive for 
the purposes of backups.  I was using rdump, but wanted to see if nfs 
mounting to dump would be faster.  NFS is working fine, I can mount and 
unmount filesystems with no problems.  Here's my problem:

dump -0fB /dev/nrst0 4096000 /tygerusr
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jun 19 02:10:25 1996
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping tyger:/rusr (/tygerusr) to /dev/nrst0
  DUMP: Cannot open tyger:/rusr

The fstab entry for this fs is:

tyger:/usr                      /tygerusr       nfs     ro,noauto - -

I can change field 5 to 1 if necessary, but my immediate problem is dump 
insists on inserting the extraneous 'r' in front of usr.  Is this a bug, 
or have I done something wrong.  I get the same error with field 5 set to 
one also.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
