Hello!

I try to set up SLES10 from a NFS installation source based on a Panasas
storage system. From the software point of view, the Panasas is a FreeBSD 4
NFS server and offers the following RPC services:

   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100005    3   udp   1009  mountd
    100005    3   tcp   1023  mountd
    100005    1   udp   1009  mountd
    100005    1   tcp   1023  mountd
    100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs
    100021    1   udp    996  nlockmgr
    100021    3   udp    996  nlockmgr
    100021    4   udp    996  nlockmgr
    100021    1   tcp   1021  nlockmgr
    100021    3   tcp   1021  nlockmgr
    100021    4   tcp   1021  nlockmgr
    100024    1   udp    988  status
    100024    1   tcp   1020  status

An final installed SLES10 is able to mount the shared filesystems, but not
the installer. In the initrd is a /lbin/mount (Busybox?) which tries the
wrong protocol (NFSv4?) and fails:

mount("172.16.9.1:/cluster", "/mnt", "nfs", MS_MGC_VAL|MS_RDONLY, "\4") = -1
    EPROTONOSUPPORT (Protocol not supported)

Surprisingly, the installation from a stoneage RedHat only supporting
NFSv2/v3 over UDP just works.

Is there any possibility to replace the mount command in the initrd? Or have
a look at the sources to get further information?

Beat
