But it simply > does not work at boot time. You cannot use DNS to resolve hostnames used for NFS mounting in the default FreeBSD setup. Mounting NFS filesystems takes place in /etc/rc just after 'network_pass1,' but DNS is the first thing done in 'network_pass2.' You need to enter any NFS servers in /etc/hosts if you want them to mount at boot time. (If one works and one does not... wouldn't happen the one that works is in /etc/hosts?) -- Crist J.
