System: NetBSD dslab1.cs.uit.no 1.0 NetBSD 1.0 (INSTALL) #0: Fri Nov 11 05:06:51 PST 1994 thorpej@helix:/mastersrc/NetBSD/usr/src/sys/arch/hp300/compile/INSTALL hp300


>Description:
	When mount(8) is invoked with a file-system type, different than
	ufs, that doesn't hava a mount_xxx program, the error message
	contains the last of the entries in the search path.  This is
	confusing.
>How-To-Repeat:
	mount -t xxx /dev/sd2a /
>Fix:
   Line 359 in src/sbin/mount/mount.c:
      warn("exec %s for %s", execname, name);
   should be changed into 
      warn("exec of mount_%s for %s", vfstype, name)
   alternatively with a more elaborate solution listing all entries in the
   array edirs (which now contains only _PATH_SBIN and _PATH_USRSBIN).
