Good luck -- if you get this working, please post a message explaining how.
I've tried to get knfsd to work several times since it was first introduced,
with no success.  If you haven't already, make sure that portmapper is running,
make sure that the locking service is running (rpc.lockd?) and make sure you've
applied all of the latest knfsd patches to your kernel before you compiled.  I
have it on good authority that the knfsd stuff can be _made_ to work, but
apparently my particular case is not possible yet (NFS-booting diskless
workstations from a central server).

I finally gave up on it and went back to Olaf Kirch's nfs-server package.  I'll
try knfsd again when 2.4 comes out in a couple of years. ;)
