Two things- 1. You have to have portmap running the both systems. So check it with (for RH based) service portmap status or Non RH based /etc/init.d/portmap status. If it is off in either case on the server or on the rescue disk then you can do a (for RH again) service portmap start or /etc/init.d/portmap start 2. Are you issuing a -t nfs on the mount command? I did not see it there and that may be throwing mount if portmap is running. Also on the server side check to see if nfs is running and exported as rw using showmount -e localhost and from the client you can do a showmount -e servername. If both of those produce results then the mount command should work...
