My just installed gentoo 1.4-rc1 machine (built from stage3 athlon tbird tarball) won't mount nfs filesystems at boot. The problem seems to be that /etc/init.d/netmount starts before portmap does as part of the default runlevel. I put a few echos in netmount, and on when checkdeps runs it lists $myneed as "net portmap", but when it gets to running netmount start, /mnt/.init.d/started/portmap doesn't exist, so it sets $rcfilesystems to "coda,ncpfs,smbfs". The awk statement to parse /etc/fstab seems to be working. After the system finishes starting, I can log in an mount the nfs filesystems without any trouble. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the deps not working right, or that portmap should be starting earlier. My thought would be to add code into netmount to start portmap if nfs filesystems are detected, and take it out of the default runlevel, although NFS is the only thing I use portmap for.
