Thanks this helps alot ... but definitely not what I'm seeing in 'man 
mount_nfs' in 7-STABLE :(

              Historic -o Options

              Use of these options is deprecated, they are only mentioned 
here
              for compatibility with historic versions of mount_nfs.

              bg         Same as -b.

              fg         Same as not specifying -b.

              conn       Same as not specifying -c.

              dumbtimer  Same as -d.

              intr       Same as -i.

              lockd      Same as not specifying -L.

              nfsv2      Same as -2.

              nfsv3      Same as -3.

              rdirplus   Same as -l.

              mntudp     Same as -U.

              resvport   Same as -P.

              soft       Same as -s.

              hard       Same as not specifying -s.

              tcp        Same as -T.
