I think you can join bug #332309 (mounting local filesystems failed on two machines running etch) to this one.
The red "failed" message from mountall.sh appears only if - proc is declared in /etc/fstab. - no others filesystem besides root are to be mounted. This is because the overall exit code of mount is 32 (/proc mount failure, because already mounted by mountvirtfs), not 32 + 64 (some mount succeeded). I don't think that stating /proc in fstab should be deprecated. I think the right thing is to add "noproc" to the mount options in mountall.sh, this solve my problem cleanly. I think that when Petter said "adding noproc is not really an option" overlooked where to put it. I mind to put it in mountall.sh, not into mountvirtfs. A bind mount in /etc/fstab is not affected by the "noproc" option, as far I know.
