Bug#696901: chroot-setup.sh: [kfreebsd-*] procfs mounted instead of linprocfs in target
Package: debian-installer-utils

Hi,
I noticed that the wrong type of proc filesystem, procfs (meant for
native FreeBSD) gets mounted in a kfreebsd-amd64 target during install.
The correct proc filesystem for GNU/kFreeBSD is linprocfs. This
contains among other things, /proc/cmdline (which is what
chroot-setup.sh actually looks for to decide if proc needs mounting).
Later, when grub-installer runs, it would have tried to mount
/target/proc correctly (as linprocfs) thanks to the fix for #613430, but
only if that directory is empty, which procfs will not be.
As a result, the grub-common postinst complains about being unable to
find /proc/mounts, with unknown consequences. (grub-mkdevicemap and
grub-probe still seem to work; the GRUB install step fails currently
for a different reason).
A patch fixing this is attached. Thanks.
