	I am new to 286bsd and have just successfully installed version
0.1 on my 486. ( 0.1 only patch is for secure passwds ) The problem is
that the following command fails
	mount -t nfs 131.217.40.2:/home2/386bsd /mnt
	permission denied

1. the 386bsd box is called geo13pc.geol.utas.edu.au
2. it has an ip address of 131.217.40.116
3. the machine I am trying to mount a driectory from is a Sun IPX running
   SunOs 4.1.3
4. the IP address of the sun is 131.217.40.2
5. exportfs on the sun shows the line
   /home2/386bsd -rw=geo13pc.geol.utas.edu.au,root=geo13pc.geol.utas.edu.au

Am I doing something wrong, I have read the FAQ and connot see anything
relavent. Do I need to recompile the kernel with nfs support or what
