Now that I have NetBSD mounting the cdrom drive I wish to NFS export it.

Firstly the machine lets me mount from other boxes just fine. It is even
working with DOS BW-NFS clients but if I attempt to mount or link (DOS)
the cdrom (/cdrom) I get the 'ol

!! [root] pcmonk:/etc> mount bsdmonk:/cdrom /mnt
!! Mount RPC error on bsdmonk:/cdrom: Invalid argument

and yes, /cdrom is in my exports file. the following command, however,
does work fine:

!! [root] pcmonk:/etc> mount bsdmonk:/tmp /mnt

any help would be appreciated.
