no dice...  the reason I ask here is that this is the first time I've
had trouble with NetBSD.  I expect it with linux, but it's never been a
problem under NetBSD before.

it hangs, but is interruptible with control-C...

goldberry# umount -f /amd/aragorn/usr/projects
nfs server aragorn:/usr/projects: not responding
load: 1.65  cmd: umount 19051 [nfsrcvlk] 0.00u 0.23s 1% 80k

I wish I knew what to kick in order to free things up.  if I wanted to
reboot machines to clear errors, I'd be running windows... ;)
