State-Changed-Why:
Well this is not a situation that we can easily fix. If you as the owner
/ administrator of the system tell it to mount a remote file system, you
have obvious reasons for it. FreeBSD will try its best to mount the
disk, but since a firewall, or network or remote host can be down and we
cannot tell from the mount command itself, it retries a few times,
aborting mounting because the system does not want to start the system
without the by your issued mountlist. The disk could be vital to the
success of the startup and usage. So sadly, this is the reality and we
should live with it.
