Try adding "resvport" as an option to the mount, either via the mount
command or within the /etc/fstab file.  For example, in fstab:

    some.host.somewhere:/fs /some/fs nfs rw,rsize=4096,spongy,resvport 0 0

The "resvport" option says to use a reserved port number.  SunOS 4.1.1
requires this when mounting their filesystems, for example, as I recall.

Note that I do not run 386BSD, so can't easily verify whether that option
exists for you.  But, it should, as it's part of 4.4BSD, as far as I know.

Good luck and enjoy...
