Trying to install 2.1.6 via NFS, the mount failed the first time.
If you go back to the menu and go through the novice install again
it works fine.
I'm using a gateway and name server - I'm guessing that one of those
wasn't setup at the time of the mount.

 I think this was a known problem, and his been fixed since -- but that
 was already too late for 2.1.6. :(
 
 IIRC, sysinstall wrote the resolv.conf into the true root /etc at the
 first time, as opposed to the chroot'ed /etc.  Hence, if you specify
 an FQDN, it will work, too.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

State-Changed-Why:  
This was fixed post-2.1.6.  Since no additional releases will follow 
2.1.6, it's probably not worth commiting the sysinstall fixes to 
that branch.
