In recent testing, it was found that the "mount -t nonfs" can cause
problems in the following scenario:

kernel compiled without procfs
procfs LKM present on system
/proc in /etc/fstab
/usr on a separate filesystem to /

what happens is that the mount command above will try mount /proc,
which then leads to procfs being loaded as an LKM which fails,
preventing a bootup.  I'd suggest that /usr should be mounted before
the "mount -t nonfs".
