I have had same kind of problems, using a NetBSD -current machine as the
NFS server and other NetBSD machines (Sparc, Amiga) as clients.  I thought
the problems were caused by my PPP link (NFS server is on the other side
of the link).  I haven't found a solution to the problem.  It seems that
when the mount succeeds, I can access the NFS disk without problems, but
usually it's the mount command that locks up.  It never seems to time out.
