First, you haven't provided any mount options. The "-" means use
these as defaults, so you need an entry without a "-". Also, I think
one "-..." overrides the previous one completely.
So, how about:
usr/local opts:=rw;type:=nfs;rhost:=gabriella;rfs:=/usr/local
Then run "amd /usr/local /your/map/name -type:=direct".
One word of warning, however. In NetBSD 1.0, I couldn't get direct
mount points to work for some reason. I don't know if this has been
fixed or not.
If not, make /usr/local a real symbolic link into an automount
filesystem.
