   This seems reasonable.  But, without this patch, would it work to
   place "from_mount" in the fs_spec column, and "0" in the fs_passno
   column?
   
   fs_spec="from_mount" seems to be documented only in the mount(8)
   man page, not in fstab(5).

hmmm, interesting idea.  initially i didn't realise that you meant for
"from_mount" to be a literal string.

that would also fix the "mount /" problem in rc.d/root.
