Hardening a Sol9 system

I have a freshly installed Solaris 9 system. Im in the middle of hardening
the system. (it will be a server at some point )

anywho one of the things a read on hardening is to set in /etc/vsftab
under mount options:

mount / with options "remount,nosuid"
/var with options "nosuid"
/tmp with options "size=100m,nosuid"

however when i did this ...with the above options in the mount options
section of the vfstab file...then rebooted ..the system complained of not
being able to find nfs deamons and other deamons... and halted

My best guess is i must have either corrupted the file or the system didnt
like the mount options i put in.

any thoughts ?
