|I think spanning tree can take up to 45 seconds (Cisco gurus can
|correct) and I've often seen it take some time.  It is a good idea.

Well, for what it is worth, we _did_ try numerous of combinations
of portfast/spanning tree settings at the time and none worked with
the e1000.

At least for NFS mounts it seems reasonable to check if the mount
worked and if not retry for a set number of times. Anaconda defaults
to NFS over UDP (can one easily change this BTW?) so this to me just
seems like prudent programming...

Jeroen
