We are getting multiple /proc entries in /etc/mtab. When the /proc
filesystem is unmounted at the end of linuxrc the proc entry is not
removed from /etc/mtab so at each boot /etc/mtab grows by one /proc
entry. Using the above rgrep line in /etc/rc.4, immediately before
remounting the root f/s and mounting the /proc f/s, strips all lines
begining with none i.e all /proc entries. When the /proc is mounted
we then end up with only one /proc entry in /etc/mtab which is what we
need.

Yes but unfortunately I've got a few permanent bad blocks in
/dev/brain since my recent little accident. In this case reformatting
is futile :((
