I might try this in another group, as this looks like almost 100% spam.

Can an NFS client mount a file, instead of a directory?

I am trying to get diskless SunOS to work, with either a FreeBSD or Linux server.

It looks like when the client mounts its swap space, it does a mount request on the file name. 
As far as I can tell, FreeBSD doesn't like that.  I don't have a Sun server running to test.
