Bug 406263 – Remove the two lines concerning proc and shm since they don't reflect the /etc/fstab file that is default in current state3 installation

I think we should remove the following two lines 

proc        /proc        proc    defaults             0 0
shm         /dev/shm     tmpfs   nodev,nosuid,noexec  0 0

Because those two line no longer exist in the /etc/fstab file you get during the stage3 installation.

I think it is confusing for users, especially new people.

My two cents

Reproducible: Always

Sorry. This is concerning this section http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8

Yup, /proc is mounted by openrc's /lib/rc/sh/init.sh whereas the /dev/shm (and other /dev stuff) is done by /etc/init.d/devfs (although I still need to find out where it is actually called)

Ah its a dep from procfs which is in the boot runlevel

Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting!
