I was just worrying about the umounts on shutdown or reboot.  Seems like the
scripts are getting their information from /proc/mounts and passing it on to
umount.  /proc/mounts is reporting the devfs version when devfs isn't
mounted
but compiled into the kernel.  Since the node doesn't exist, I'm wondering
if the fs doesn't get umounted (doesn't seem that way here...)

If you do, lemme know.  I'd like to track this one and see what the say 8-)
Glad to help in some way.  I'm going to give the root-fs stuff a real test
today  (having a Memorial Day party at the house, and the XFS stuff is
running
on a custom mp3 set-top box that drives the sound system ;) and see...

Ahh!  Interesting.  Didn't think about that.

Thanks Eric!
