Live Filesystem (Fixit Console) and NFS FreeBSD8

[Grant Peel]

Robert,

Maybe I should rephrase the question:

What would the correct procedure be to connect a machine to an NFS share on 
another machine (local network, hardware already connected) with NFS using 
the FreeBSD(8)  Live CD (Fixit Console)?
