I've shot over the line I see. Running autofs and nis out of / (ie without
/usr) would probably require too much work for it to be worth
it. So mountnfs.sh needs to run before any of those two.
Automounting /usr doesn't work then, but then it doesn't make
sense to me anyway and running an automounter on / is even
harmful.

So maybe this could work:
rcS.d:
S43portmap
S45mountnfs.sh
S50nis
S60autofs

(nfs-common is not started in S, it's not tremendously important
though, since it only starts statd nowadays).

ciao, 2ri
