System: NetBSD cis-ts3-slip4.cis.brown.edu 1.0-ALPHA NetBSD 1.0-ALPHA (EXCELSIOR) #5: Wed Jul 20 20:32:14 EDT 1994 mhw@cis-ts3-slip4.cis.brown.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/EXCELSIOR i386
>Description:
The mount_kernfs(8) man-page lists two files that don't exist
in /kern on my system:
root the system root directory. In a chroot'ed environment,
mount_kernfs can be used to create a new /kern mount point.
/kern/root will then refer to the system global root, not the
current process root.
rrootdev the raw root device.
I'm not sure if this is a bug in kernfs or in the man page.
>How-To-Repeat:
man mount_kernfs
ls /kern
