I've just installed Ubuntu (latest download 20001012) on a new PC
based on Intel X38 chipset, Core 2 duo 6850, two SATA discs and 4gb
1066 DDR3 memory, and using the ehternet provided by the X38 chipset.
When I try to set up the use of nfs, it doesn't remount remote
filesystems during reboot, unlike every other Debian based system I've
setup. It appears that this is because statd hasn't been started at
the appropriate time, which I think is because there is no /etc/init.d/
mountnfs.sh available. According to the debian package list, it should
be provided by initscripts. But ubuntu package search seems to suggest
that there is no mountnfs.sh at all. That being the case, how is /etc/
init.d/mountnfs supposed to get called?

I would have expected this dependence to be resolved when I installed
nfs-connon, but it seems not have been.

Why not use autofs?

Because that would, I expect, just involve me in another set of
problems, and be different from the 4 other Debian systems that I
already have. I would only consider that if I was reliably informed
that Ububtu did not support nfs mounting file systems during reboot
(and if that were the case, I'd try harder to revert to using standard
Debian, which I didn't use originally because I couldn't get a CDROM
driver for the board)
