The followings are what I did:

At the installation time, telling the hostname, domainname,
defaultgateway, DNS server, ipaddress, net mask.

edit /etc/rc.conf, add nfs_client_enable="YES" nfs_client_flags="-n -4"

edit /etc/fstab to add in the mount systems and mount point (server side
has been configured).


At the server side, I say one message,

svc: unknown version (3).

Again, I can mount the NFS system after I login as root. But it simply
does not work at boot time.
