>Description:
Consider the following setup:

merlin's fstab:
  pauli:/nilles/backup    /nilles/backup          nfs rw,bg,soft,nosuid,nodev 0 0
  dirac:/nilles/share     /nilles/share           nfs rw,bg,soft,nodev        0 0
  dirac:/nilles/home      /nilles/home            nfs rw,bg,soft,nosuid,nodev 0 0
  dirac:/usr/www/httpd/root       /nilles/www     nfs rw,bg,soft,nosuid,nodev 0 0
dirac's fstab:
  /nilles/freebsd@merlin  /nilles/freebsd         nfs rw,bg,soft,nodev    0 0

(pauli runs 2.2.7 as well....)
When dirac does NOT mount /nilles/freebsd@merlin, merlin reboots
gracefully, but when one mounts /nilles/freebsd@merlin on dirac
(even without accessing it...) the mounts of /nilles/share etc. on
merlin is backgrounded at boottime.

the following message appears (for the first two mountpoints ..@dirac):
	nfs: bad MNT RPC: RPC: timed out
(the message is generated by mount_nfs!)
But the mount of /nilles/backup@pauli succeeds before the mounts
 ..@dirac are attempted.

Output from 'tcpdump -s 200 -vv host merlin':
(the first packet stems from (presumably dirac's) xntpd)

<AND SO ON>

When dirac was a DEC UNIX box over one year ago (the clients were all
FreeBSD), the problem did never occur... However, once it occured when
mounting a filesystem from a very heavily loaded DEC UNIX box...
So maybe its a problem on the FreeBSD client side...
>How-To-Repeat:
Difficult: I tried it with other 2.2.7 machines as server but didn't
succeed (but I have only one server loaded like dirac..).
But one time (!) it happend when mounting a filesystem from a
DEC UNIX 4.0c box....
>Fix:
Putting mount -a -t nfs in /etc/rc after network_pass_3 doesn't help.
Maybe inserting a sleep would
Real solution: unknown (to me...)
