I am trying to mount a NFS partition across a router that has port 111

mountport=### in the mount options to bypass portmap and mount the
partition. In Fedora 2, this option seems to be disabled.
When I use ethereal to check what's going on, I see a TCP request to
sunrpc (port 111 or portmap) and a return from the router "ICMP no route
to host" and then the mount fails. It actually backgrounds the mount
process and hangs there.
Is there any way with the FC2 mount command to bypass the portmapper and
specify the port that mountd is running on so I can mount the partition?
The option is "port=", not "mountport=". The normal port to use is
2049.
See "man nfs" for details.
