man 8 compat_solaris, for starters.

ss5.solaris# share -F nfs -o ro,anonuid=0 /usr
ss5.solaris# share -F nfs /

classic.netbsd# mkdir -p /emul/svr4
classic.netbsd# mount ss5:/ /emul/svr4
classic.netbsd# mount ss5:/usr /emul/svr4/usr


Make sure you have

	options COMPAT_SVR4

in your kernel config file.


This should hopefully get you started in the right direction.
