- I'm pretty sure you can't do this from /etc/servers. I think you need
- to make an entry in /etc/inittab for it. I was having some trouble a
- while back with automounter on DECstations trying to mount A/UX
- partitions, and needed to add an option to the mountd. Putting it in
- /etc/servers did not work, but /etc/inittab did. I'm giving you this
- from memory, so I may be slightly off, but I think this is basically
- right.
