>Description:
	mountd(8) no longer properly supports the -alldirs exports option,
	making it difficult to set up diskless machines.

	-alldirs seems to only be supported if you're exporting the 
	physical mount point; exporting a directory that isn't the physical
	mount point with -alldirs results in:

	Mar 20 00:47:38 threadway mountd[64]: Could not remount /misc/hp300/system: Invalid argument
	Mar 20 00:47:38 threadway mountd[64]: Bad exports list line /misc/hp300/system -alldirs -maproot

>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to set up a diskless client.
>Fix:
	There's a silly bit of code I can't figure out a reason for.
	Commenting it out works around the problem.
