After looking at it, that's not going to work.  mountfs runs before
networking has started.

I suppose we could hack up /etc/init.d/portmap to mount NFS volumes, 
but I'm not sure that's a good idea.  

Looking at my SuSE desktop, they have a separate start script for NFS
mounts.  It looks like that's the way to go.

Thoughts?
