It is currently not possible to mount a NFS file system if the first
character in the remote server's hostname is a digit. For example,
mount -t nfs 6pack:/ /mnt
will fail and issue a warning about bad net address 6pack. There is a
patch below which might be helpful for fixing this.
Regards,
Frank Josellis
