This has to be a dumb question, but I can't fathom it.

/etc/rc sources /etc/rc.network and then runs network_pass1.  
Directly afterwards, it runs ``mount -a -t nfs''.

However, network_pass3 (invoked much later) starts nfsiod along with 
the other nfs stuff.

How is the ``mount -a -t nfs'' supposed to work ?

The *funny* thing is that nfs drives are mounted on a 2.2.2 box I 
have, but not on my -current box :-(

Can someone show me the light ?

TIA.
