Don't use nfsiod(8).

Just mount (as usual: `mount -t nfs ...' or via fstab(5)).

A major NFS reimplemented was made in 2.3 (as I remember);
nfsiod(8) functionality is in kernel now, just better.

Please note: defaults for NFS has also NFS has also changed:
tcp & rdplus, see mount_nfs.8.

rc.d scripts should be used for starting extra services;
these scripts and rc.conf(5) are updated.
