does /emul/linux/etc/mtab exist (its content doesn't matter)?

If it does, can you try to compile a kernel with the patch from rev. 1.61 to
1.62 of src/sys/compat/linux/common/linux_file.c applied (i.e. in this file
replace the "sys_read" in line 983 by a "sys_pread" and the "sys_write" in
line 1008 by a "sys_pwrite") and try again?
