SubjectRe[4]: fsck root fs: fsck, devfs, /proc/mounts miscooperate.

Thanks! It works!
However, I still think "fsck /" behavior isn't right - people who don't use
devfs won't be able to check root fs without fstab entry for it.
This seems fixable - "mount -o remount,rw /" works without /dev/root
trick, right?

Best regards,
