This will be very difficult under NetBSD. Linux doesn't have this problem
because the nfs daemon is all in userland (so it sees the virtual file system
and doesn't know about partitions). With NetBSD the NFS daemon is mostly in
kernel, and is closer to physical devices.

And as noted, this may not be a good idea, because you don't always want to
export all the partitions under the one exported.
I'm pretty sure the linux behavior is just a side effect of the NFSD
being all implemeted in userland, and not a feature really desired.
