... The	 first
       is  to  list  all mount points as absolute directory paths separated by
       whitespace. ...
...
       The second is to	specify	the pathname of	the root of  the  file	system
       followed	by the -alldirs	flag; this form	allows the host(s) to mount at
       any point within	the file system, including regular files if the	-r op-
       tion is used on mountd(8). ...
...
... The third form	has the	string
       ``V4:'' followed	by a single absolute path name,	to specify  the	 NFSv4
       tree root. ...

Obviously / apparently the 2nd form requires also absolute path. Not sure why the absolute path is explicitly noted for the 1st and 3rd form and not for the 2nd...
