Lew,

Thank you for the help. That clears up at least part of the
picture, but I'm not sure all of it. I checked and there
is a file /var/log/dmesg. The reason I did not see it was
that in my search, I grepped for 'nfs|NFS' and no nfs messages
not appear in the file.

There must be more to the picture, because I know there
are some nfs messages that scroll by during the boot process.

Once this is message sent, I'm going to reboot one or more times
to see if I can confirm seeing nfs messages that are not
showing up with dmesg.
