I've used it w/ 11i (Itanium) just fine a while back.

No, we removed some code that incorrectly tried to use autofs on 11i in 6.1,
b/c we weren't ready for that.

Can you build the latest 6.0 and 6.1 off of the nightly CVS snapshots, and
let us know what does "amd -v" reports?  Does it recognize nfs3?  At least
6.1 should.

Also, did you try 6.1 to see if it works.
