FreeBSD 5.1 Automount - amd.map help?

[William M. Grim]

Hey again!  Thanks for the previous help trying to update from 5.1 to 5.2.

Now, I'm trying to setup amd and have setup and amd.conf to go along with
it (I have attached amd.conf).  In rc.conf, I have also cleared the
amd_flags so that it loads amd.conf.

However, I was curious how the /etc/amd.map (also attached) that comes with the
default install works?  The man pages are rather skimpy on information.  I
only got the amd.conf file working by following the example,
/usr/src/contrib/amd/scripts/amd.conf-sample.

Thanks again for any help.  Also, does anyone know any good site that
describes how the amd.map works so that I can create my own?  I'd like to
automount home directories and other exports off of remote servers (not using
fstab).
