Assuming you've upgraded your /etc/rc.d scripts to those in head, then
try deleting /etc/rc.d/nfsserver. (This script just tries to load the
old server even though you don't need it unless you want to run the old
one.)

Or you can build a kernel with both
options NFSD
options NFSSERVER
to make it happy.

I'll try posting to rc@ to see if I can get rid of /etc/rc.d/nfsserver.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had forgotten about deleting this (and
was until recently confused about when obsolete files get deleted).

If you still have problems after deleting /etc/rc.d/nfsserver (assuming
your /etc/rc.d scripts are up-to-date), please let me know.
