looking, I noticed that you are trying to mount proc (and to create the
mtab file) first, but in the current setup, the filesystems are mounted
as read-only (they don't get changed to read/write until the S20local_fs
script is run, yet you are trying to write to the drives using the
S15proc_fs script). The process is backwards, I would rename the
S20local_fs script to S15local_fs and the S15proc_fs to S20proc_fs. This
will already have the filesystems mounted as read/write so that you can
create the mtab file. Hope this post is understandable :).

Dave,

What I was going for with mounting /proc first was to have /proc/mounts
available before disks are mounted because that's what /etc/mtab pointed
to. Turns out that using /proc/mounts as /etc/mtab has some problems,
so I've scrapped the idea in version 2.0.

Version 2.0 is not done yet, but the chapter about checking and mounting
disks is pretty well shaped up. Since you were having the double root
mount problem, would you mind beta-testing version 2.0? I'd like to get
some feedback on how the re-write works. You can find the preview of
2.0 at: http://my.core.com/9A/2F/dhorton/linux/pocket/html/2.0_preview/

The rest of the proposed changes for 2.0 are at:
http://my.core.com/~dhorton/linux/pocket/ch-ch-ch-changes/2.0_Proposed_Changes.txt
if you would like to review these.

Let me know what you think.

Dave
