I'm trying to mount a freebsd HD in solaris through nfs.
The system mounts the drive without any errors, but 
when I try to perform a read (or write) operation, e.g. get
a file listing through "ls" in the mounted directory, the
freebsd machine reboots for some strange reason.  It
gets confusing at the point when the read (and write) operations
work just fine after mounting a linux drive in solaris.
The /etc/exports file in the freebsd machine resembles the
following:

/ -maproot=root machine.domain

I've tried the following commands in solaris:

# mount machine:/ /mnt
# mount -o rw,remount,hard machine:/ /mnt

Both the times, the freebsd machine rebooted.

Has someone had a similar problem before?  Is there something
that I need to do extra before mounting a freebsd drive?
Thanks for any info.
