CURRENT has been giving me similar problems that weren't (as) obvious
in 2.2-STABLE . I've found two client-side work-arounds to improve the
situation:

1) Use ``opts:=vers=2,soft,intr'' in /etc/amd.map (see the AMD info page
   for more details).

2) Don't use AMD. Use direct mounts out of /etc/fstab, eg:

src.noc:/a/ncvs	/home/ncvs	nfs	soft,intr	0	0

This causes an apparent hang during FreeBSD boot if the server is
unavailable (eg: network fault).

Otherwise, all I can suggest is patience. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
