Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 . Move the entry for starting rpc.portmap to a
spot that starts it before the system mounts nfs partitions. This was a
problem that was fixed pretty recently with slackware, but wasn't an issue
for 2.0 kernels. NFS 2.2beta40 should be available at
ftp://ftp.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/okir/dontuse/nfs-server-2.2beta40.tar.gz
I have had little or no trouble with nfs 2.2beta37 on the 2.2 kernels, so
I seriously doubt this is the cause of your problems. I've never seen the
other error b4 (regarding a.out binaries) so have no clue for a course of
action.
