>Description:

A portal filesystem mounted to /p prevents the root filesystem from being 
fsck'd clean. Unmounting /p will fix this. Somehow this propagated semi-
permanently, so fsck at boottime would barf (although /p isn't mounted then)
and try to fix it. It confused me a bit, which resulted in the completely
bogus kern/395 bug report.

>How-To-Repeat:

Use this as /etc/portal.conf:
# portal.conf
tcp/	tcp tcp/

and try:

fsck -n /dev/rsd0a    (should be ok)
mount -t portal /etc/portal.conf /p
fsck -n /dev/rsd0a    (gives unref'd file)
umount /p
fsck -n /dev/rsd0a    (should be ok again)
