In September, Stefan Gybas suggested (see below) using the mount options "nolock,nfsvers=2" in response to a problem with NFS installation. I want to report that this problem also exists with Hercules-390 V2.16.5 and 2.17.1, and that using this syntax in response to the NFS dialog in the installation bootstrap works flawlessly (this mounts a Debian-390 DVD-ROM that was NFS exported from a base RH7.3 system):
