That particular case is easy to workaround, just link /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts. Don't do this if you use lookback mounted filesystems a lot though, as it screws that up. I have a system with the entire disk mounted read-only (/tmp, /var/lock, /var/log, /var/mail, /var/run, /var/tmp, /var/spool/exim, and a few other dirs are copied onto a ramdisk during boot), and it boots and works ok. The boot is a trifle unclean as a few things try to access the disk and whine that they cannot. -- see shy jo
