OK, thanks.  I finally found and checked the HOWTO (sorry about that). 
I'm just a little unclear on exactly how.  With the SunOS, HP-UX and
Solaris automounters, I add environment variables (HP-UX) or -D
arguments (Solaris) for things like system architectures, etc.  How do I
feed this information to autofs, via submounts like the example?

That is, /etc/auto.master points to another file or map (in this
example, the file name /etc/autofs/nfs).  Then in /etc/autofs/nfs, an
entry

*     -fstype=autofs,-Dhost=&,-Dprefix=/&     file:/etc/autofs/nfs.sub

and finally, the file /etc/autofs/nfs.sub contains

* ${host}:${prefix}/&

I see how this works for usage of hostnames, but how can I include other
variables?

Thanks again for the response. Transmeta folks must be mondo busy this
month.
