Good question! I may have somehow ended up with an actual directory
named /proc; I got messages that proc wasn't mounted when I tried to
unmount it (after finding nothing beneath it).
I tried mounting it again, and things seemed to work. So I'm not sure
how I got into this state, but things are OK now.
I just booted into my new Debian system. This is actually an
intermediary for me to build a custom kernel and set up and EVMS
filesystem. Back on track.
Of course, now I have to deal with gcc 3.3 not working to build the
kernel....
