Without the other NFS packages, you won't have the binary in place that actually knows how to mount NFS filesystems. You can prove this by using "truss -f" to follow a mount request; /usr/sbin/mount tries to execute either /etc/fs/nfs/mount or /usr/lib/fs/nfs/mount, and your system won't have either one. We don't support minimization of the type your vendor used; use of NFS client requires all of the SUNWnfsc* packages. Rob T
