[OpenIndiana-discuss] NFS fails to automount at boot

[Daniel Kjar]

Thanks for asking about this. I had just assumed the same.  Machines I 
updated all the way from opensolaris still mounted nfs at boot but my 
clean 151a5s did not.  Very annoying when apache fails cause it didn't 
mount htdocs from the file server.
