Your thoughts are appreciated.  I didn't get much 
sleep last night because of the storm that went 
through (lots of wind) and my daughters were 
both scared.  Anyway, the myth box boots 
up and all core services (dns. dhcp, squid, procmail)
work fine.  When I try to do a modprobe nfs, 
I get some error about not being able to load 
one of the .so files because it is corrupt or 
non-existent.  I'm at work, and didn't 
think in my sleepy stupor this morning to 
write down the exact problem.  So, I think 
you're right that nfs is not "in" the kernel, 
but I can't modprobe it either.

Maybe doing an apt-get update or something 
similar would help?
