>Description:
Durring the installation process the network_interfaces line in /etc/rc.conf is set to "`interface` auto" I have found that this incorrectly configures "lo0" and does not allow rpc.statd to register with portmap. I have tested this across two installations 3.2-stable and 3.3-release.

If network interfaces are set to just auto this is the ifconfig:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

If network interfaces are set to "ep0 auto" this is the ifconfig:
lo0: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
>How-To-Repeat:
In /etc/rc.conf 
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfs_client_enable="YES"
network_interfaces="ep0 auto"

>Fix:
Do not have sysinstall place a network interface in /etc/rc.conf the standard "auto" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf works well or put lo0 in the /etc/rc.conf network_interface line.

 Or read the online ERRATA.TXT before installing. :-)
