While trying to nfs mount a filesystem that exists on my Sun, running
SunOS 4.1.1, from FreeBSD, I get the following error message:

           Cannot MNT RPC: RPC: Program not registered 

I'm certain that everything is set up properly on the Sun, and I'm
aware of the differences in the /etc/exports files used by SunOS and
FreeBSD.  The version of FreeBSD that I'm using is 2.1.6, soon to be
changed to 2.1.7.

On the other hand, I've no trouble at all in nfs mounting and
accessing a FreeBSD partion from the Sun.
