In chiark.mail.debian.devel, you wrote:

>/proc/mount should reflect the systems state and with devfs enabled
>but not used the entry is just broken.

So should typing "mount -t devfs devfs /devfs" change /proc/mounts, or
only "mount -t devfs devfs /dev"? If I mount devfs inside a chroot,
should /proc use devfs or traditional names? Howabout a /proc inside the
chroot?
