Yep.  I played with OpenBSD on a 68k mac (hiding from the linux advocates
now;) for the first time, and nfs mounts failed properly, bells and whistles
etc. =) The mount went perfectly clean, but 'ls' came up 'protocol not
supported' :)

Of course, I figured the kernel didnt have nfs support or something.. Turns
out that OpenBSD defaults to nfs3, and failback to nfs2 doesnt work properly
yet (at least on this machine)
