>Description:

As noted my Hidekazu Kuroki on netbsd-bugs (I can reproduce this):

Boot single user, then do this:

# mount -t procfs procfs /proc
# cd /proc/curproc/
# ls
cmdline fd      fpregs  maps    note    regs
ctl     file    map     mem     notepg  status
# sync
# sync
# sync
# reboot
Mar 24 09:51:36 reboot: rebooted by root
syncing disks... done
unmounting file systems...

The unmount never completes.
