>Description:
      It seems like there needs to be some kind of option in the mntops column of fstab from the "man mount" list under the -o section PRECEDING any "man mount_nfs" options.  Please notice the addition of the "ro," option below.  The exports line is:

[root at jo:~]# tail -2 /etc/exports  
/usr/home/autocvs/src /usr/home/autocvs/ports -ro

[root at jo:~]# 

>How-To-Repeat:
      [root at jo:~]# tail -1 /etc/fstab
jo:/usr/home/autocvs/ports /root/test nfs -T 0 0
[root at jo:~]# mount test
fstab: /etc/fstab:7: Inappropriate file type or format
fstab: /etc/fstab:7: Inappropriate file type or format
mount: test: unknown special file or file system
[root at jo:~]#

>Fix:
      [root at jo:~]# tail -1 /etc/fstab
jo:/usr/home/autocvs/ports /root/test nfs ro,-T 0 0
[root at jo:~]# mount -a
[root at jo:~]# df -h | tail -1
jo:/usr/home/autocvs/ports     17G    3.6G     12G    24%    /root/test
[root at jo:~]#
