  <para>
    While LFS is capable of mounting network file systems such as NFS,
    these are not mounted by the <filename>mountfs</filename> init script.
    Network file systems must be mounted after the networking is activated and
    unmounted before the network goes down.  The <filename>netfs</filename>
    bootscript was written to handle both boot-time mounting of network
    filesystems, if the entry in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> contains the
    <option>_netdev</option> option, and unmounting of all network filesystems
    before the network is brought down.

    As the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, install the
    <filename>/etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs</filename> bootscript included with the
    <xref linkend="bootscripts"/> package.
