>Description:
the diskless man page doesn't seem to agree with the way mountd
currently works.  Specifically, it suggests exporting a parent of the 
filesystems that a diskless client requires in order to boot.  It also 
doesn't mention in its example that the NetBSD server's exports file needs to
contain the flag -alldirs in order for this to work.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to boot a NetBSD-Current diskless client from a NetBSD-Current server,
using the procedure outlined in the diskless (8) man page.  It will
fail to mount root & panic.
	
>Fix:
apply the following diff:
