Hi, I noticed that the wrong type of proc filesystem, procfs (meant for native FreeBSD) gets mounted in a kfreebsd-amd64 target during install. The correct proc filesystem for GNU/kFreeBSD is linprocfs. This contains among other things, /proc/cmdline (which is what chroot-setup.sh actually looks for to decide if proc needs mounting). Later, when grub-installer runs, it would have tried to mount /target/proc correctly (as linprocfs) thanks to the fix for #613430, but only if that directory is empty, which procfs will not be. As a result, the grub-common postinst complains about being unable to find /proc/mounts, with unknown consequences. (grub-mkdevicemap and grub-probe still seem to work; the GRUB install step fails currently for a different reason). A patch fixing this is attached. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: kfreebsd-amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: kFreeBSD 9.0-2-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
