gtp36,
I presume that by now you have solved the automount problem. If you did, then ignore this, if not then check the AUTOMOUNT configuration file: NFSCONF
For the HP, the file is located at: /etc/rc.config.d
This file stores the options for AUTOMOUNT
The comments inside the file will help setting up the options.
Example
NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
..........
AUTOMOUNT=1
AUTO_MASTER="/etc/auto_master"
AUTO_OPTIONS="-f $AUTO_MASTER"
Automount or AUTOFS should start next time you reboot the system.
Hope this helps.
