It must be something trivial but... I installed 386bsd 0.1 on a
486-33 with IDE drive, we8013-clone ethernet with no problems.
Everything including the network seems to work (at least, ftp, telnet,
rsh  work fine and quickly in both directions). However, when I try to
boot with the nfs-related stuff enabled (portmap, mountd etc.) mountd
hangs without being able to register with portmap. If I press ^C on the
console during boot, things proceed more or less regul;arly and the
system comes up (the only thing is, mountd takes most of CPU time).
Other things (nfsd, nfsiod) apparently register correctly (as shown by
using rpcinfo from another machine).  Now, I cannot either NFS-mount
the 386 disk from another machine (clearly because mountd does not
work, the error message is

nfs_mount: bsd386a:/ server not responding: rpc program not registered

or mount other disks on the 386bsd machine. (this time the error
message is 

Bad MNT RPC: RPC: Authentication error; why = Invalid client credential


I haven't installed the crypt routines or any of the patches yet,
because from the descriptions I have it's not clear which ones
apply to my problem. Any help from the net ?

	Thanks
	Luigi
