    Sorry that my question was so basic. On a Friday afternoon
    with 15 minutes left in the work day my brain was in 1st. gear.

    Thanks to those that replied with helpful suggestions.

    Turns out all I needed to do was to start the nfs client

    /etc/rc2.d/S73nfs.client start

    and then do my mount using the IP address of the nfs server

    mount -F nfs 128.115.#.#/DATA1 /a

    and this worked perfectly!!

    If you are trying this yourself there may be a need to start the rpc
    services which are in /etc/rc2.d/S71rpc.

    Thanks all!

    My original question is below

    Is it possible when booting cdrom -s

    # boot cdrom -s

    to mount an NFS partion from another host??

    # mount -F nfs hostname:/DATA1 /a

    I tried it and got an RPCbind error.

    I know I can mount local partitions on /a but how about
    nfs shares from other machines?

    Thank You
