You'll need the i386 nfs.c. The mi libsa one has a special entry for
the mount call, which requires to bypass the libsa filesystem selection.
That's not clean, and it causes larger code. The mi code should be
changed of course, but a lot of md dev_net.c files depending on it.

I'm using tftp to load kernels, so I'm not up-to-date wrt nfs
problems. When I've dealt with some other problems, I'll try it.
(But alpha and suns use nfs loaded kernels more often, so I'd assume
that we would have heard if there were big problems.)

When you boot NetBSD, is the mii phy chip recognized? I've
got serious problems with my -002 card's media handling,
all mii registers are read as 0.
(Have a 905b-FX too, which doesn't work either.)
I'll try to find out some more...
