mounting NFS remote volumes on boot-up?

[Dr. Brendan Patrick Mahony]

If you want to static mount the file system you can use Netinfo  
Manager or niload at the command line.

eg
sudo niload -r /mounts / < ni_mounts

where ni_mounts is a file of the form:

{
   "name" = ( "mounts" );
   CHILDREN = (
     {
       "name" = ( "server:/the/path/to/folder1" );
       "dir" = ( "/Network/Servers" );
       "opts" = ( "net" );
       "vfstype" = ( "nfs" );
     },
     {
       "name" = ( "server:/the/path/to/folder2" );
       "dir" = ( "/Network/Servers" );
       "opts" = ( "net" );
       "vfstype" = ( "afp" );
     }
   )
}

Apparently Netinfo is on the way out though.
