Hmm, tried using the -noresvport in /etc/exports of the netbsd/alpha
only to get prompted "bad option noresvport". Interestingly the man
pages talks about this option (including -noresvmnt). The netbsd-alpha
nolonger is NetBSD-current as it is a couple of month old by now...

NetBSD hotdog 1.2D NetBSD 1.2D (HOTDOG) #1: Fri May  2 07:39:46 CST 1997     root@hotdog:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/HOTDOG alpha

I don't understand the -P option. None of the commands I've entered
have this option.

What is needed in mounting nfs using reserved ports... maybe worth a 
shot...

many thanks again
