I may have left out a key piece of info:

I am not using a ipfw.rules sh script. I am using Webmin, which loads the ipfw.rules in the rc.local file. I don't know alot about the order of operations as far as the rc files go, but assume the rc.local is of the last ones to run, likely after mounts normally take place.

Are there any background or timeout switches that can be used on nfs mounts in the fstab?

Hi all,

I can't boot my machine with out using the noauto switch on my nfs mount,
presumeably, because ipfw has'nt set up a tule to allow lo0 access.

I have read some things about nfs_mount and wonder if the -i -s switch can
be used in fstab on the nfs mount, or if there exists a switch that can be
used to allow it to try to mount the nfs in the background and allow the
sytem to continue booting.

That doesn't sound right. The order of the rc.d scripts is set up to allow NFS mounts:

: gothmog:/root# rcorder /etc/rc.d/* | egrep -e 'ipfw|mount'
: /etc/rc.d/mountcritlocal
: /etc/rc.d/ipfw
: /etc/rc.d/mountcritremote
: /etc/rc.d/mountd
: gothmog:/root#

Are you sure you are not blocking NFS mounts in your firewall ruleset?
