Spot on, I had /proc and /kern in /etc/fstab, but, for some reason,
with noauto. The system is an aarch64 vm running on Oracle OCI,
installed by dd-ing a live system over the attached boot volume, so it
had come from build.sh.

BTW, tnn@ for some reason always falls in my gmail spam folder; I
wonder what on Earth is causing this, as I also have a couple of
accounts that land in other people's spam folders... Oh, the vagaries
of mail setup - it's been some 8-9 years since I stopped maintaining a
couple of mail servers and, franly, wouldn't want to go back there...
