- From your output it seems that your system cannot find a /bin, /dev, and other
things on that nfs mountpoint. But the nfs seems to be up and responding with
read errors ... Are you sure you did not overlooked a path? Because the /home
(as I saw from a previous email ...) is very strange place to hold a
filesystem root ...
