Folks -
Thanks to Waqar Hafiz who even took the trouble to dig out
the answer on SunSolve for me (I looked but didn't see it
-- his search terms are better).
Our /etc/inetd.conf file was fine, but that patch was missing.
Installing it fixed the problems ...

> Most likely, the following line in /etc/inetd.conf has been commented out:

> # ps -ef | grep inetd # kill -HUP <pid of inetd>
> Now, the media should mount automatically.
> Also, please ensure that patch 112966-01 (or higher) is installed.
