Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2004-01-03 06:00:41 UTC

In the URL above there is the code line

    # umount /mnt/gentoo/boot /mnt/gentoo/proc /mnt/gentoo

which suggests that something was previously mounted to /mnt/gentoo/proc. However, there is no such mount command in lower-numbered pages of the manual.

For comparison, the old on-line guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml) had a mount command in code listing 8.6

    # mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc

and a corresponding umount in listing 26.1

    # umount /mnt/gentoo/proc

Spend a look at chapter 4.k "Mounting", the proc mounting stuff is explained there.

Stupid of me ... I did search the pages, just must have missed this one somehow. OK, all in order then.
