These instructions are in all likelihood for the old userspace NFS server. Until recently, the kernel NFS server, aka knfsd, would not export filesystems that don't have device numbers, i.e. the network filesystems and pseudo-filesystems like proc. However, Neil Brown's recent patches to knfsd include the ability to specify the fsid, and this can be used with these "device-less" filesystems.
Neil's patches can be found here: http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/patches/linux-stable/ Marcelo has incorporated most of them into 2.4.20-pre*, as you can see from their dwindling number with increasing kernel revision, and Marcelo's release notes. :-) There are of course a number of caveats, primarily having to do with restarts changing inode numbers ...
