rD54368: Don't recommend the -r flag to mountd.
Summary

It enables a non-standards compliant feature to support ancient
diskless terminals. We shouldn't recommend it without explanation.

Instead, suggest setting mountd_enable. While not required to start
the NFS server, it is required for the "service mountd restart" command
below.
