Yea, let's chat. My thinking is this is a one-shot thing, too. But every
developer will want/need to set up their filer with an NFS root. Well at
least that seems to be what is happening. It is my guess it will be once
per cougar developer, anyway. Perhaps not?

Later,

Larry

Larry,

I don't know how it got started to export this, but this is not a
process for users.  It's kind of a one-time-shot thing just to get us
started, but is not something that we should be exporting or that people
should
be doing themselves.

Let's chat as necessary.

Cheers,
