- I just installed Xkernel-1.5 and I had the same problem.
-
- You have to add the /export/root and /export/swap directories to a
- file named /etc/exports. The command exportfs(8) is usually invoked
- at boot time by /etc/rc.local to export the contents of /etc/export.
- But if you don't want to boot your server, you can run exportfs manually
- at any time.
-
- Hope this helps,
