>Description:
	When you try to mount a filesystem which is noted in /etc/fstab
	and the mount point does not exist, you get the irritating error

	  root@talo[p2]<~># mount /proc
	  mount_procfs: : No such file or directory

	The same holds for mounting /kern, possibly for all other file system
	types. Something like

	  mount_procfs: /proc: mount point does not exist

	would be more helpful, IMHO.
