Hi!

I want to NFS-mount some of my FreeBSD 2.0 (with a unmodified 2.0 kernel) 
system from a client machine. But mountd tells me:

Can't open /var/db/mountdtab

when it starts and repeats the message continuously on the console when I try
to do the mount from the client.

How do I create this file?

Thanks
