I did try that as my named was starting after "Mounting NFS file systems"
too but it still wouldn't mount that line from fstab. It still mounts fine
manually but not automatically on reboot like it should. It's probably
something like a flag in rc.conf that I'm missing or some other little
thing but I'm just not finding it. Thanks for trying. Anyone else with an
idea?

TIA
