Apparently this is due to broken NFSv4 support in Linux. The
preferred solution is probably to set the particular mount to use
NFSv3, in vfstab or on the command line, as opposed to setting
the maximum version for all NFS mounts in /etc/default/nfs.

That file no longer exists in Solaris 10; NFS client, along with
most other services, is now managed by the SMF facility. The
proper way to enable the service is with svcadm, e.g.:
svcadm enable nfs/client
There is currently a bug in syncconf which has left the NFS client
service disabled on 9.4 Suns. I have submitted a patch to correct
this.
Thanks for reporting this.
