Unless I'm terribly mistaken (due to heavy tiredness), "fs type nfs not
supported" seems quite obvious to me: your kernel does not have NFS supoprt.

And what does your kernel really supports? Just run: cat /proc/filesystems
and see if nfs is in there. If not, check if you have NFS support as a
kernel module and load that. If not, then your kernel does not have
NFS support, neither built-in nor in module. Re-configure and re-build
your kernel, then.
