Nothing; mounting an NFS file system at boot is not supported currently
with Guix System; see the related issue #47706.

My current ugly workaround is to define the mount points with "(mount?
#f)" and mount them via a script post boot, e.g.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(file-system
  (device "jami-buildmachine-04:/srv/nfs/jami")
  (mount-point "/var/cache/jami")
  (create-mount-point? #t)
  (type "nfs")
  (mount? #f)
  (options "soft,user"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
