To clarify -- to do this, you can do `systemctl enable nfs` (Yeah, the
verb-object relationship is switched from the service command to
systemd's systemctl — ah well.) "Enable" means "start on boot"; you can
also do `systemctl start nfs` instead of the service command, and it's
probably good practice to start training your fingers in that way.

The downside of this, though, is that if you have an NFS share mounted
and the network goes away, NFS is usually rather unhappy.
