Michael,
    The online equivalent of the handbook chapter is: 
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html>, 
with the section in amd here: 
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html#AEN34412>.
    If you follow the directions and still have issues, please include 
relevant snippets from rc.conf, your amd maps, and /etc/exports.
    Don't forget to run showexport -e {hostname|IP} on the remote 
server. It can help you determine if the problem is present on the 
server or the client.
    Best of luck and hope you do well getting used to FreeBSD.
