NFS mounting timeout

You could try:
'mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/nfs /nfs -o nolock' to disable the lockd
accesses. I'm not quite sure about the impacts. At least you can not
rely on file locking anymore... ;-). With this option you should be able
to mount nfs without the portmapper and without recompiling.
