# Perchance does only the first mount point work?
No. All others work fine (after I export the parent directory unless
it's its own filesystem). I will note that if I do NOT export the parent
first, /usr/share, /export/local and /export/X11 will NOT work.
Something is BROKEN here. I think I'll go file a pr. :-)

Tabs vs. Spaces has no effect. /holt and /usr/src have a tab and a space on
the line, all others have tabs only. Go figure.
Another detail:
defender is running 1.4K.
starwolf is running 1.4S.
On a version-related note, I submit that our internal numbering scheme is
going to suffer if we surpass Z and go to multichar'd revisions.
Isn't our version represented as
#define __NetBSD_Version__ 104190000
...where it's more or less ("%d%02d%02d%02d00", major, minor, rev, patch),
where rev == (rev_letter - '@')?
Or is this particular #define maintained by hand?
