NAME
       nfs_niloader  - load NFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab into the Net-
       Info database.


SYNOPSIS
       nfs_niloader


DESCRIPTION
       nfs_niloader is a function that runs the following command

       sudo niload -m -v fstab . < /etc/fstab

       that loads the information contained in the file  /etc/fstab  into  the
       NetInfo  database.  This step is required before the filesystems listed
       in /etc/fstab can be mounted for the first time.  The script then  runs
       the  command df -h to show the user what is already mounted, and prints
       the relevant column of the contents of the file /etc/fstab, and finally
       suggest  to the user that the command sudo mount /filesystem be used to
       mount then new filesystem(s) contained in /etc/fstab. The main point of
       this function is to help with the hard-to-remember niload syntax.
