The BL3 and BL2 partitions would be on the same computer so I don't need 
to get into NFS, do I?  Is it enough just to mount hdb2 and go to the 
sourcecode directory to compile?

I wanted to have a smaller BL3 directory and put non-executables and 
non-libraries into the larger BL2 directory where both BLs could use them 
if needed.  Source code, images, pdf files, music, text files.

That way BL3 boots faster (less drive to mount).
