Well, okay, Mike, I won't disappoint you. :-)

Ick!

That sounds slick, but what if you've just finished an installation and
the partition of /usr was last mounted on /a/usr, /usr/src was last
mounted on /a/usr/src, /var was last mounted on /a/var, &c.?

Besides, I don't want something automagically regenerating my fstab for
me from the rc scripts.  It's bound to eventually be too smart for its
own good.  I could just see it now wiping out all my mfs/nfs/*fs mounts!
