How do I create /proc???

[Paul Rightley <pright@lanl.gov>]

I am trying to backup my Debian 1.3.1 system and make it bootable
from a Jaz drive.  I have copied the essential directories (cp -a)
from my system to the Jaz.  If I create an empty /proc directory on the
Jaz and boot from a floppy with the Jaz as root, the boot fails
just before I get a prompt - absolutely no error message.
If I delete the /proc directory from the Jaz drive, I manage
to get a login prompt (but I get many errors at bootup about
there being no /proc directory).

How do I resolve this problem?  I have not found any FM to R.

Thanks for any assistance,

Maria Rightley
