Just one reply, a "me too" from Richard A. Young, sadly no explanation

Original problem:
> an interesting problem: running nfssetup under 4.0D we selected 64 TCP

> mounting from a DECstation (Ultrix) and a Linux box and the mounts
> hang. Linux complaining about being unable to read the root inode:

> Sep 25 14:28:44 zenith kernel: nfs_read_super: get root inode failed
>
> the DECstation kindly replied "RPC program not registered".
