I did use mountd -n but I do not have pcnfsd. Is it required or optional?

The complete Network connection works fine. ftp, telnet, ping and even
NFSPING work. But when I try to mount a partition (e.g. / which is in
/etc/exports) the command hangs a while and then I get an BIOS error from
the PC saying that it could not access drive E (that is where I wanted to
mount on). And yes, I have a LASTDRIVE=Z command in my config.sys...
Exactly the same setup works fine with a NFS server running SCO UNIX.

I would be grateful for any clues...
