    I am getting this message when I attempt to NFS mount 
    from my server:
    
    
     NFS IO service started
     NFS Locking: rpc.statd and rpc.lockd started
     Mounting NFS filesystems
     NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered
    
    
    I went thru the Network Admin troubeshooting pages...I still
    get this message about the RPC program not being registered...
    
    -Thanks.
      Bob

|     I have seen this message when I forget to set up the NFS server on the
    other system. Could this be it??

|     I am getting this message when I attempt to NFS mount 
    from my server:
    NFS Portmap: RPC: Program not registered
I was going to say that most of the confusing mount error messages will be
fixed in Steel, but it looks like I didn't help this case.  Steel will say:
Cannot contact portmapper at %s: RPC: Program not registered
(%s will be replaced with the server's name)
but what really is the problem is that portmap is running on the server
but nfsd isn't.
If portmap is not running, after a very long delay, this will print:
Cannot contact portmapper at %s: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
I'll see if I can clean that up a little better.  At least it will print
the server's name, a big step forward.
See http://www.zk3.dec.com/~werme/support.html for some roughed-out
notes on analyzing NFS problems.
