Can't be done.
Special thanks to Jose Manuel Franco for telling me that PCFS is
not exportable, and to Trevor Paquette for pointing me to the man
page for pcfs:
BUGS
PCFS should handle the disk change condition like MS-DOS, so
that the user does not need to unmount the filesystem to
change floppies. PCFS is currently not NFS mountable. Try-
ing to mount a PCFS filesystem through NFS will fail with an
EACCES error.
Much appreciation to those who replied:
Trevor Paquette <TrevorPaquette@aec.ca>
Jose Manuel Franco <jmfranco@campus.cem.itesm.mx>
Daniel E. Singer <des@cs.duke.edu>
Asim Zuberi <asim@psa.pencom.com>
Thanks again,
- Christopher
