I'm sorry I missed this. I looked at the existing bug list but #126668's description didn't seem related at first glance (consider retitling..). Please do as you see fit. > I promise to tell you when it's fixed. No need.

I have this as one of my boot scripts: Actualy I found the bug while debugging udev on a linux-gnu system, then used kfreebsd-gnu just to reproduce it and file the bug. :> > #!/bin/sh > root=/chroot-unstable > mount_linprocfs proc $root/proc > mount_devfs devfs $root/dev > > I suspect there should be a way to do the same using /etc/fstab but > didn't have the time to ask you :-) Ah, you picky ;) The syntax is: null $root/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 null $root/dev devfs rw 0 0 (If you like, you can replace "null" with "foobar", or "this_string_is_useless", and it'll still work :)) However, for chroots I usualy do: /proc $root/proc nullfs rw 0 0 /dev $root/dev nullfs rw 0 0 -- .''`.
