[Tfug] Mount Question

I have a laptop that mounts several nfs filesystems from other servers on
my office network.  These are all mounted by entries in fstab.  When I take
the laptop on the road this causes the boot to be on the slow side while
the system tries to find these fs's to mount.  I can think of a couple of
hacks around this, but is there some way I can identify in the fstab that
these systems are not to be mounted at boot time?  I could then mount them
manually by a "mountall -t nfs" when I'm on the office network and want the
mounts done.

FWIW - my long-term USB problems appear to have been caused by a munged USB
port card.
