Are all of those entries mount points, or do you want to export
something like /var/export with the -alldirs option?

I have a diskless environment set up, and it looks like this:

server /etc/exports:

    /wd1f -maproot=root -noresvport -noresvmnt -alldirs -network 192.168/16

client /etc/fstab:

    nemeton.com.au:/wd1f     /     nfs    rw  0 0
    /swap                    none    swap  sw  0 0

I doubt that the -noresvport and -noresvmnt options are needed.
I suspect they're left over from experiments with other operating
systems.

P.S. Forgetting to disable PXE boot on a notebook is scary if your
corporate IT department use that method to initiate installs of
Windows!  *shudder*
