The boot process stops at: "Start Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen" That process takes more than a minute and I still have to connect manually and mount the NFS separately before I am back in operation. I messed with this before and always seem to run into difficulty. It is simpler to restore NetworkManager than fight it. I don't have any portable equipment and it just seems I should be able to control the connection without it. I saw your message and thought I would give it another try. Thanks.
