I have a SPARCclassic running NetBSD 1.2.  I have a PC running NT 4 and
Intergraph's Disk Share NFS server.

I am able to export (uh, er, sharing) directories from the NT box and mount the
directories on the NetBSD box.  I am even able to 'ls' and 'touch filename' on the
mounted stuff.  However, when I try put something with data in it on the mounted
directory, NetBSD panics.  What do I mean by 'put something with data in it ...'?
I mean, 'cp', 'cat > ntfile', you name it.

Fortunately, it is easily reproducible.  Unfortunately, getting this working is way
down on my list, so I don't have time to figure it out right now.

Has anyone heard of this problem before and know of a fix? Maybe I can save some
time.
