Hi,
	I am trying to install NetBSD, but I am running into a
"NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out" error.
I have a Gateway 2000 Pentium 90 with a 3Com 3c509 ethernet card
using IRQ 3 and I/O base address 300H.  I have used the card
before, and it seems to be fully functional.

	What should I do to correct this problem?  Here is part of my
installation dialogue:

 - Some stuff that seemed ok left out -
pci0 bus 0 device 0: unknown vendor/product: 0x8086/0x04a3

	not configured
pci0 bus 0 device 2: unknown vendor/product: 0x086/0x0484

- etc. -

I am using a nfsaha.fs floppy I made after downloading the file and
rawriting it to a formatted floppy.
