	Also occurs with 2.2-ALPHA and 2.2-BETA.
	NFS server enabled in /etc/sysconfig.
	/etc/exports uses -network and -mask options.

>Description:

	When /etc/exports contains an export for a subnet (example
	follows), /etc/rc freezes until ^C is hit (causing mountd
	not to load) if the appropriate subnet mask is not defined
	in /etc/networks.

e.g.
	/usr/src -alldirs -maproot=0:0 -network=203.17.53.16 -mask 255.255.255.240

>How-To-Repeat:

	Comment out your subnet mask in /etc/networks, make sure
	nfs server is enabled in /etc/sysconfig, reboot, watch
	/etc/rc stop as it attempts to load /sbin/mountd.

>Fix:
	
	Unknown.
