On obelix (the server) install the nfs-server package. Then edit
/etc/exports to specify which directories are mountable via NFS. You
probably want to export /cdrom (assuming that's you CD-ROM mount point),
so simply add '/cdrom' to the exports file.
Then, run /etc/init.d/nfs-server start. You should be able to verify that
it's running by running 'ps ax | grep nfs'.
On the client machine, run 'mount -t nfs obelix:/cdrom [local_mp]' where
[local_mp] is the local mount point.
Those steps worked for me; they seem pretty generic, so they'll probably
work for you, too. Good luck.
