  At the moment, I cannot boot *my* minimally-usable system, the
nfs-client bootscript is hanging.

  First time, I had messages something like:
Starting NFS statd...rpc.statd: svc_tli_create: could not open
connection for udp6
rpc.statd: svc_tli_create: could not open connection for tcp6

(copied by hand, reformatted by pasting)

  The messages are because ipv6 is now the default in nfs-utils,
configure --help says
  --disable-ipv6          disable support for IPv6 [default=no]

  So, I tried that and got rid of the messages, but the hang
persists, in start_daemon/usr/sbin/rpc.statd from the nfs-client
bootscript.

  I'm going out now, will look at this later - for the moment, just a
Heads Up that there might be a problem here.

I did a test of nfs a week or two ago and didn't have any problems, I'll test it when I get to it.

  Also, should we (both LFS and BLFS) assume that our kernels support
ipv6 ?

I do have ipv6 enabled in my kernels, but do not use it at all. I do not assign any ipv6 addresses to any interfaces.
