NFS on A/UX

Code:
#  mount -t nfs marcie:/usr/pkgsrc /usr/pkgsrc
mount: marcie:/usr/pkgsrc on /usr/pkgsrc: unsupported file system type
mount: giving up on /usr/pkgsrc
This really has me scratching my head. Any ideas? Do I need to set something somewhere in order to allow NFS?

In order to make sure that the kernel has NFS support loaded at all, let's check that

# module_dump /unix

does give a lot of output and finally ends with:

ufs ufs included soft

nfs nfs included soft

and in addition, let's check that in /etc/inittab the lines starting with nfs4, nfs5, nfs6, and nfs8 are not disabled.

Thanks, that's the command I needed. No, I do not have the nfs line. :( Looks like I need to do a "newconfig ao appletalk nfs svfs ufs". That ought to do it.

check that in /etc/inittab the lines starting with nfs4, nfs5, nfs6, and nfs8 are not disabled.
I did know to change these, and ran "init q" afterward.
