In /etc/rc, it appears that there is a line that mounts the default NFS
filesystems:
/etc/mount -avt nfs
This is fine, except for the fact that it seems to be failing to do the
proper thing. If in /etc/fstab, the filesystem is marked:
rw,noquota,soft
and the server is down, this line seems to hang forever...
"soft" is supposed to mean give-up, not try forever... I do not know if
this bug is new to 7.3 (I suspect not).
