Hi,
I don't know what the problem in your case is, but just a few thoughts:
- make sure your linux box isn't providing NFSv4, as FreeBSD does only
support for v2 and 3,
- to test and whether the nfs server is receiving you use "showmount -e
lg", it's quicker
- yes, you need a portmapper running on the client too and apparently
you have, its that sunrpc thingy
- read mount_nfs(8) ;)
I hope that helps a bit..
