I have one dedicated Windows 95 machine.  I d/led all the packages from one
of your mirror sites and I am trying to get NFS install work.  First of
all, my '95 box is ip 129.29.29.29  and my future FreeBSD box I have
decided will be 129.29.29.30  I setup kernel and all, and I select packages
and basic stuff.  I go to NFS installation and enter
"129.29.29.29:/D:/FreeBSD" because the packages are contained on my windows
95 box on drive D..It then takes me to network configuration.  I enter a
hostname, domain, for gateway I put 129.29.29.29 (my 95 box) and nameserver
I put 129.29.29.29 .  For IP Address I put 129.29.29.30 and netmask is
255.255.255.0 .  No extra config options.  It then starts mounting drives.
My problem occurs here.  when I go to Alt-F2 I see 
DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file
NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to send

then I have to ctrl-c the whole process..

I'm very stuck and would greatly appreciate any help that can be offered.
Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from someone.
