And this is what AL does, quoting from /etc/rc.sysinit :
/bin/mount -a -t nonfs
An improvement should be to create an init script (i.e. nfsmount) to simply mount all nfs volumes in fstab & have it running after portmap & nfslock...

My guess is that the fs mount stage happens before the daemons stage, so things like portmap aren't started and when mount is called to mount the home directory it doesn't work.
If that is the case I would consider that a point of future improvement - if not a bug ;-)
I would file an entry in the bug tracker, but only after I have checked it and possibly have a solution.
Something along changing the initial mount call to
mount -a -t nonfs,smbfs,coda
which mounts everything except the three network filesystems NFS, SMB and Coda. And later in the appropriate network filesystem startups, additionally mount the corresponding filesystems.
This is, of course, for those filesystems that are not controlled by any automounting facility.
]]>/etc/fstab
...
casablanca:/maps/home /home nfs auto,nouser,noexec 1 2
and start the following daemons
/ets/rc.conf
...
DAEMONS=(!pcmcia network crond inetd portmap nfslock ypbind autofs hotplug)
but the directory is not mounted after I boot up in AL and therefore no logging in is possible before mounting it myself
it's exactly the same configuration that works in gentoo and redhat so I wondered what could be the problem
any idea?
