I ran into the same problem last night trying to mount a machine that had
just had a 100Mbps Ethernet card installed in it.  The host's IP address
had been changed to the 100Mbps interface, with a secondary name added to
the 10Mbps, which happened to be on the same network that the NetBSD/sparc
box was on.  In all cases, the mount hangs when trying to mount the default
interface, but succeeds when mounting the other one (since the packets come
back from the server off that interface).  I had to get on the server and
add a default route for the NetBSD box out the interface it was mounting off
of to get the mount completed so that I could unmount it and remount it off
the other interface.

I'm running NetBSD 1.0A-950912, so unless it has been fixed in the past couple
of days, the problem is still there.  Has anyone done a send-pr on this one,
or should I put one in?
