Yes, I had the same problem, but haven't had time to track it further:
- isofs and SCSI cdrom as modules - /etc/fstab has an entry for my cdrom, but it's marked "noauto" - system hangs during "mount -av -t nonfs,noproc"
Using the debug options for devfs didn't reveal anything obvious (but I can supply you with logs). The breaker seems to be "mount" doing a readlink(/dev/sr/c0b0t5u0).
BTW Richard: Your sample modules.conf file should put
alias /dev/fd off alias /dev/stdin off alias /dev/stdout off alias /dev/stderr off
_below_
alias /dev/st* st alias /dev/fd* floppy
because modprobe scans the list from bottom to top (!) and hence will load the SCSI tape module when devfs asks for "dev/stdin"! Actually, one could view this as a bug in modprobe or at least unexpected behaviour.
Cheers, Roderich
