Was the nfs daemon started in /etc/inittab? If not, follow these steps:
1) Log on as "root".
2) Edit the file /etc/inittab
3) Change the line
nfs3:2:off:/etc/nfsd 4 # set to "wait" for NFS server
to:
nfs3:2:wait:/etc/nfsd 4 # set to "wait" for NFS server
4) Enter the line: telinit q
5) Enter the line: ps -ef | grep nfsd (or, ps-a | grep nfsd in the C shell)
The output should resemble the following:
root 93 1 0 10:00:34? 0:00 /etc/nfsd 4
root 94 1 0 10:00:35? 0:00 /etc/nfsd 4
root 95 1 0 10:00:35? 0:00 /etc/nfsd 4
root 96 1 0 10:00:35? 0:00 /etc/nfsd 4
Note that the numbers in the columns may differ on your system.
