I think that should be: no_root_squash

Only the server uses /etc/exports.

IIRC the normal BL3 kernel works for a NFS client.  
It's the NFS server that requires the big kernel.

That is correct.

sunrpc and lockd are not needed.

That should be nfs, not nfsd.  nfsd is the server.

There should be no space between : and /

To summarize, for the NFS client:
--------------------------------
insmod nfs
rpc.portmap
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/  /mnt
--------------------------------
That's for the normal BL3 kernel.  The big kernel
already has the nfs module inside, so you don't
need to insmod nfs for the big kernel.
