Gak.   I tried using it and had all kinds of problems with things hanging.  I'd
wait a revision or two.  Perhaps you could look at amd.  I think it's been
patched up to work with the DEC MIPS stuff.

If you insist on using Dec's automount, I recall reading somewhere that
stderr needs to be redirected somewhere.  ie, just running 'automount'
in rc.local won't cut it, but typing automount at your terminal will.
At least i think I remember reading this somewhere in this group.  Perhaps
somebody will verify it.
