The error is "Inappropriate file type or format." But it works fine 
with mount -2.

Transcript follows:

 cavalier [lantz]% df
 ...
 pdp:/p5                    4212381       10  4170248     0%    /mnt
 cavalier [lantz]% cd /mnt/lantz
 cavalier [lantz]% ls -ld .
 drwxr-xr-x  2 lantz  dash_os  512 Oct 23 15:41 ./
 cavalier [lantz]% mkdir foo
 mkdir: foo: Inappropriate file type or format
 cavalier [lantz]% 

The line in dfstab is nothing unusual:

 share -F nfs -o rw=flashmachines root=flashdomain -d "pdp:/p5" /p5

And the mount line is nothing unusual:

 mount pdp:/p5 /mnt
