That's what bg option is for.

bg | fg

If the first attempt fails, retry in the background,
or, in the foreground. The default is fg.


Don't change hard option to soft. As per mount_nfs(1M) man page:

Hard versus Soft

File systems that are mounted read-write or that contain
executable files should always be mounted with the hard
option. Applications using soft mounted file systems can
incur unexpected I/O errors, file corruption, and unex-
pected program core dumps. The soft option is not recom-
mended.
