Yea, since it doesn't specify any host/network, it is the "default"
entry that covers "the rest of the world". As such, there can only
be one/server file system.

So, if /tftpboot and /vol/tank are the same server file system,
the above makes mountd happy. (I tend to use -alldirs instead of
listing the mount directories, because I find it less confusing,
but that's personal taste.)
