Mounting NFS and CIFS at boot

[balanga]

How do I go about mounting NFS and CIFS filesystems at boot?

Ideally I'd like to mount the filesystems once the system has booted. From what I can remember from when I tried it last there was a problem booting if a remote server was offline, that is, it started booting but but hung waiting for the remote server.

For filesystems which appear late there is the late option. Please see below two examples from my /etc/fstab.

md99       none   swap   sw,file=/usr/swap/swap,late   0 0
/usr/home/chris/Downloads /usr/jails/www/home/chris/Downloads nullfs rw,late 0 0

The first example is related to a swap file, the second line to a jail which is started later. I have not used NFS or CIFS, but this method might apply as well.
