Alright, I'm in the process of setting up a bootserver but mountd doesn't
seem to like the format of my /etc/exports.  Based on the diskless,
mountd, and exports man pages, I can't see what's wrong with my
/etc/exports entries.

The bootserver is running under NetBSD/sparc 1.3.2, it's the GENERIC
kernel and all the standard binaries which shipped with the 1.3.2 release. 
I've got a filesystem /export, under which I've a number of boot client
directories.

  /export/
          myclient1/root/
          myclient1/swap
          myclient2/root/
          myclient2/swap

My /etc/exports file looks as follow:

  /export/myclient1 -maproot=root -alldirs myclient1
  /export/myclient2 -maproot=root -alldirs myclient2

These entries generate the following errors at when the mountd daemon
starts at boot time of the bootserver.

  Nov 27 13:36:05 beable mountd[143]: Could not remount /export/myclient1:
   Invalid argument
  Nov 27 13:36:06 beable mountd[143]: Bad exports list line /export/myclient1
   -maproot
  Nov 27 13:37:21 beable mountd[143]: Could not remount /export/myclient2:
   Invalid argument
  Nov 27 13:37:22 beable mountd[143]: Bad exports list line /export/myclient2
   -maproot

Why?
