I think I found it. It's confusing....

'add_install_client' only added the following to /etc/dfstab:

share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /export/Solaris/snv46/SPARC/Solaris_11/Tools/Boot

Which is enough to boot the client, but not enough to mount /cdrom, and access 
the 'Product' directory.

The strange part is that the client did mount something on /cdrom:

# df -h /cdrom
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
172.25.244.38:/export/Solaris/snv46/SPARC
                       8.5G   5.7G   2.8G    68%    /cdrom

Which is what I would have expected, but which is also *NOT* exported from teh 
server:

>From Client:
# showmount -e 172.25.244.38
export list for 172.25.244.38:
/export/Solaris/snv46/SPARC/Solaris_11/Tools/Boot (everyone)

>From Server:
# share
-               /export/Solaris/snv46/SPARC/Solaris_11/Tools/Boot   ro,anon=0
""

In my experience with NFS that mount should have failed. No? Has something 
changed?

I do note that in /cdrom I can only see the files that are exported. So I see 
only a Solaris_11 dir, and that has only a Tools dir, and that has only a Boot 
dir, so I can't get to any files that I couldn't get to in the past but why 
doesn't the mount fail?

Why doesn't add_install_client export the right thing?
