>Description:
I cant get a machine to connect to a NFS mount on another machine on the same network using the FreeBSD 8 Live Filesystem Fixit console. 

>From what I can gather from the documents, it should be possible.

Once the machine was loaded up with FreeBSD 6.3 (From a backup), and running in the normal way. it connects fine.

In this case, the NFS server is running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and has several other machines connecting to it fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a NFS mount on a machine, and configure,
Boot a client machine up with FreeBSD 8 Live FS and go to fixit console,
Assign the client an ip address with ifconfig,
try mounting the nfs volume on the client.

The error I got was:
RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Program not registered
