Hi Andy,
	Do a mount. You'll probably see that the closest "best fit" nfs
export will be /home. If you export /home to your Dreamcast with -alldirs,
you should be able to mount the swap file. Make sure you only export to
the Dreamcast (or whatever other machines you want to see it, too).

Good luck,
Josh
