FreeBSD's mountd doesn't like exporting files.  I had to fix that
to get my ss2 booting diskless.  Look thourgh the mountd source for
Net and Free and change the line of code...  Um... hold on..

                /*
                 * Get the real pathname and make sure it is a directory
                 * that exists.
                 */
                if (realpath(rpcpath, dirpath) == 0 ||
                    stat(dirpath, &stb) < 0 ||
/*                  (stb.st_mode & S_IFMT) != S_IFDIR || */
                    (!S_ISDIR(stb.st_mode) && !S_ISREG(stb.st_mode)) ||
                    statfs(dirpath, &fsb) < 0) {

Ok, thats the offending line of codei (370 in mountd.c), commented out.
I'm sorry this isn't a proper diff, but allwell.

Anyhow, I just ripped this from the NetBSD sources and it worked fine.

I got a new drive for the machine and am no longer using the nfs swap.
