should be:
box1:/mnt/cdrom /mntcdrom nfs ro,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
specifically, you do not want the fs/dev options you specified. (the options
I listed are not mandatory, but are generally a good idea).
Additionally, anytime you make a change on box1's export file you must
re-export (i.e. exportfs; man exportfs for details) - if this does not
work, you can restart mountd (usually by doing /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
followed by /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs/start)
You will find that you will have difficultied umounting the cdrom, once
it has been mounted on the otherside of thewire (even after the other side
umounts it). The way to umount the cdrom, will be to stop nfs (as above),
umount /mnt/cdrom, and re-start nfs (as above).
