Network File System for a PS/2

[M. Ganter]

I am attempting to install NFS on a PS/2, after performing all the normal
installation procedures the system still won't allow remote mounting.

The problem is the nfs deamon will not run.  When executed (i.e. nfsd 3) 
the system returns the error message:
    "Variables missing from name list"

The system is a PS/2 running AIX version 1.2. 

After paging through the AIX manuals, I still at a loss.  Does anyone
out in netland have any ideas where to look next?
