I am trying to export the /usr partion on my NetBSD 0.9
system, but it does not work.

In /etc/rc I have these lines:

	# if $nfs_server == YES, the machine is setup for being an nfs server
	if [ X${nfs_server} = X"YES" -a -r /etc/exports ]; then
	        rm -f /var/db/mountdtab
	        echo -n ' mountd';              mountd
	        echo -n ' nfsd';                nfsd -u 0,0,4 -t 0,0
	fi

mountd starts ok, but I am not able to find a running nfsd process. When 
I try to start nfsd manually, it exits imideately and leaves no running
nfsd-process and no error messages.

Apart from this my /etc/exports file looks like this:

	/ vimes sid dc9
	/usr vimes sid dc9
