!!I can't mount stuff!
Did you remove rpc.statd(8), portmap(8) or other critical SUN RPC stuff? :)

firewalling for Linux systems running the NFS service (network file system), you hit the problem that some of the TCP/IP and UDP ports used by components of the service are randomly generated as part of the SunRPC mechanism. This HOWTO document is part of the !LinWiz tool kit, and describes how to set up NFS on your server in such a way that meaningful IPTABLES firewall rules can be applied to the system."

!!Performance sucks!
Try adding the 'async' option to the export in /etc/exports. Also check your rsize/wsize, larger tends to be better (but does lead to fragmentation) If you have a gig clean path between two hosts, make sure they have 9k byte MTU's and that the r/w size is 8k.

+!! "nfssvc: Function not implemented" error message

+This error message when trying to start nfsd indicates that your kernel lacks NFS Server Support (CONFIG_NFSD)

+!! "Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default" error message

+This error message which may appear while using an NfsRoot setup indicates that nfsd is not running, which may in turn be caused by the previous error message.
!!Solaris
Under solaris the mount options were slightly different.
