Giving up an NFS fs that wasn't available initially?

  Shouldn't an NFS client retry to mount a fs that wasn't available when
the client boot? In other words, if the NFS server was not available
when the client boots, shouldn't the client retry to mount the fs
according to the retry parameter?
  My expectation and understanding of the man page is that it should
retry. Yet this is not what happened here. Is that behavior expected? Can
it be that some other parameter involved? The client attempt to mount
the remote fs bg,soft,intr.
