Edit your /etc/fstab file and put the mount in there.

E.G.

oldcrescent:/users/molloyt	/home/network  nfs	bg,hard,intr,rsi
ze=8192,wsize=8192,nfsvers=3      0 0

All the above is one line.

It says:

mount /users/molloyt from nfs server oldcrescent
mount it on local path /home/network
its a nfs mount
and the rest are just arguements to the mount command.

Hope this helps.
