It's telvin-root I want to mount...

Works for everything else except nfsroot! :-(

Definitely running on the NAS:

$ rpcinfo -p 192.168.2.254
    program vers proto   port
     100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper

     100005    2   udp    926  mountd
     100005    2   tcp    929  mountd
     100005    3   udp    926  mountd
     100005    3   tcp    929  mountd

My understanding is that it shouldn't be needed on the client as part of 
nfsroot...

I might just throw it at someone.
