RPC is required to talk to mountd. Unless you've done something weird,
it will be started at boot. Additional nfs services are started at boot
if you have a valid 'share' line in /etc/dfs/dfstab.
The client asks the portmaster on the server where mountd is. If it
doesn't get a satisfactory answer, that would give you the 'RPC: program
isn't registered' message.
This can happen with bugs on both sides. It could be that the Linux
client is requesting a particular version and isn't falling back to
another one when that version isn't served.
