$SUBJECT says it all. According to the changelog, this dep was added in 2004 but has been removed after that. My crippled-down system with incomplete "system" target can't boot without /bin/mount :). I think adding it back won't cause any trouble...
/sbin/rc: line 348: awk: command not found /etc/init.d/checkroot: line 33: awk: command not found /etc/init.d/checkroot: line 73: awk: command not found /sbin/depscan.sh: line 137: /bin/gawk: No such file or directory /sbin/depscan.sh: line 131: /bin/gawk: No such file or directory -> sys-apps/gawk as well /etc/init.d/bootmisc: line 51: find: command not found /etc/init.d/bootmisc: line 11: find: command not found /etc/init.d/bootmisc: line 51: xargs: command not found -> sys-apps/findutils /etc/init.d/hostname: line 16: hostname: command not found -> sys-apps/net-tools
those are system packages, merge them
Or add them to your crippled system profile. Seriously, mount and hostname *should* be part of any unix system.
we dont force the packages because things like busybox could be used instead
