How to configure a NFS mounting in fstab?

Question

I have a NFS share folder on a FreeNas system. I'm able to mount this share and use it with this command:

mount -t nfs -o proto=tcp,port=2049 192.168.0.216:/mnt/HDD1
/media/freenas/

I just don't know how to do that in /etc/fstab so it does it automatically. How can I do that?

Edit /etc/fstab and append to the end:
192.168.0.216:/mnt/HDD1 /media/freenas/ nfs rw,bg,soft,intr,nosuid 0 0

A typical /etc/fstab entry for a NFS mount looks like as follows:

192.168.0.216:/mnt/HDD1    /media/freenas/    nfs    defaults    0 0

The options you supply looks pretty much default, but you can add those as well:

192.168.0.216:/mnt/HDD1    /media/freenas/    nfs    defaults,proto=tcp,port=2049    0 0
