System: NetBSD q610.ebe.dk 1.2G NetBSD 1.2G (Q610) #25: Sun Oct 5 23:59:19 MEST 1997 erik@q610.ebe.dk:/home/erik/intrh.src/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/Q610 mac68k


>Description:
	When a NetBSD-current system boots the sequence of mount
	commands in /etc/rc may cause a diagnostic to be printed on
	the console, e.g.


starting rpc daemons: portmap.
ufs: /dev/sd0g on /usr: Device busy
starting nfs daemons: mountd nfsd.

	This is really harmfull, but it does not look nice, and it may
	confuse people upgrading from previous releases to the forth-
	coming 1.3.

	The message is issued by the "mount -a" command in /etc/rc
	before starting the nfs daemons, and it is caused by /usr
	already being mounted.

	My system is running NetBSD-current with unmodified /etc/rc
	and /etc/netstart files. I'm running with the following
	/etc/fstab:


/dev/sd0a	/	ufs	rw 1 1
/dev/sd0b	none	swap	sw 0 0
/dev/sd0g	/usr	ufs	rw 1 2
/dev/sd0h	/home	ufs	rw 1 3
/dev/cd0a	/cdrom	cd9660  ro,noauto

	I have not supplied any fix with this PR, and I have also
	noticed some discussions about the "correct" way of mounting
	the file systems within /etc/rc. May I at least request a
	way of mounting that does not issue error messages that really
	don't indicate a problem.
