Make sure that the NFSSERVER option is specified in the config
file.  At least in the netbsd kernel if you don't add NFSSERVER
and if you try using netbsd as an NFS server, the nfsd daemons
get very cpu hungry and you have to feed a new cpu to them every
two hours.  Well, not quite but 386bsd is likely to behave
similarly.
