Right, I haven't tried this, but it sounds like the same as with SunOS...

You have to "re-export" the /cdrom directory, after mounting it. On 386BSD I think
you do this my sending a HUP signal to the mountd proess. This causes mountd to
reread the /etc/exports file.

Please try it, but I haven't got a CDROM drive on the PC (yet).
