NFS failure at startup.

[Martin Spenceley]

Shame they could not leave in the portmap/netfs in the appropriate 
scripts but simply commented out
for us Semi-newbies!

Except for putting them before the NFS script, do you know where the 
standard place is for
the portmap/netfs start commands.

Should I be checking for anything before starting them?

Thanks,

Martin
