Have you tried putting the mount options in the /etc/fstab file, as
documented in the fstab(4) reference page?
NFS file systems are mounted by the /sbin/init.d/nfsmount shell script as
part of the processing of /sbin/rc3.d during startup. The S20nfsmount
symbolic link in /sbin/rc3.d points to /sbin/init.d/nfsmount. The script is
trivial, but you probably shouldn't modify it.
The fstab(4) reference page says this:
The fourth field, (mnt_options), describes the mount options associated
with the file system or partition. It is formatted as a comma separated
list of options and contains at least the type of mount (see the fs_type
field) plus any additional options appropriate to the file system type or
the partition use. You can specify the following mount options:
and then goes on to list the mount options, such as "rw".
Try making your mount options for this file system be "rw,nfsv2,port=2049"
or "ro,nfsv2,port=2049" if that's more appropriate.
