That is not the point. Look in mount_nfs(8), you'll find a command
line option ``-i'' for mount_nfs, but you won't find, what's supposed
to go into /etc/fstab. I can _guess_ that I have to change the
the line
/ftp@somewhere.dom.ain /ftp nfs ro,soft,intr,bg 0 0
to
/ftp@somewhere.dom.ain /ftp nfs ro,-s,-i,-b 0 0
or
/ftp@somewhere.dom.ain /ftp nfs ro,s,i,b 0 0
or what? The man pages are not very clear about the new option
style.

Don't expect me to be a breeder, and I won't assume you're a fag.
