Hi,

I was just reading through
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/nfs.html

It's a diskless netbsd howto.  I was looking at this
because there doesn't seem to be a decnt, up-to-date
diskless freebsd how with step by step instructions.
Anyway, I came across this bit:

"FreeBSD
FreeBSD doesn't support exporting individual
directories. You need to know the mountpoint of the
filesystem you will be exporting. This also means that
the client will have root read/write priveleges on
that whole filesystem. For example, if you only have
one filesystem (i.e. /), then you need to export
everything to the client. "

Is this true under freeBSD 4.1R?  If so it's a bit of
a limitation isn't it?

Thanks,
Paul
