It's possible that (by now) I've stuffed up my config somewhere, but I can
locally mount NFS shares (woopee).
Moploader is definitely working (maybe I'm using the wrong boot.mop file
though?)
I have tried your suggestion, however:
    1. As the boot doesn't get as far as searching for kernel names, I doubt
that's it (yet).
    2. mountd screams "Can't register mount" about 10 times in the logs
(after a 'boot') and then :
            "mountd/rpc/udp server failing (looping), service terminated"
        - is this the loop.c thingo I was supposed to change somewhere?
