NFS installation problem (or finger trouble)

I've recently acquired the first Iris on our site, and am trying to
NFS-mount discs off various other Unix (Sun) machines. But I can't
get NFS to run properly. After installing the software, I edited
/etc/fstab as on SunOS, then (following the instructions in the
manual) typed
# /usr/etc/nfsd 4
# /usr/etc/biod 4
# /usr/etc/exportfs
nothing exported
# mount -av
mount: vulcan:/picdisc/pix on /IP-archive: Invalid argument
mount: giving up on:
/IP-archive
i.e. basically trying the same procedure as under SunOS.
I then tried re-booting the machine, but it doesn't bring up the NFS
daemons, even though the appropriate toggle is set. However, I've
noticed that /etc/havenfs returns a value of 255 in $status.
Has the installation gone haywire, or is it some kind of finger
trouble on my part?
