Hmmm...I'd guess that you don't have `options NFSSERVER' in your kernel 
config file.

If I understand it correctly, mountd simply pushes the export list into 
the kernel and fields mount requests from other hosts, so this won't 
necessarily require NFSSERVER.  However, nfsd definitely does, and will 
exit with an error condition of it's not present.

Hope this helps...
