You can't export regular files, even under SunOS.  You must export the
directory in which they live, and reference that.

Typically I have an /export directory, and paths for diskless boxes look
something like:

	/export/<machine>	The root directory for <machine>
	/export/<machine>/swap	A file on which swapping happens

And they are exported thus:

	/export/<machine>	-alldirs -maproot=0:10 <machine>

Or, under SunOS:
	/export/machine		-access=<machine>,root=<machine>

Hope this helps...
