[Sunhelp] sharing cdrom via NFS

[Eric Williams]

I had some problems like this on Solaris 2.5.1 and I ended having to 
share the full path to the mounted cdrom (/cdrom/nameofmountedCD) 
and then NFS mount the full path on the client. This wouldn't be a 
great solution for CD mounts that change but that wasn't a problem 
for my situation.

Hope this was some help.
