In most board bring-up logic, the procfs is auto-mounted on power up.  Like this from the STM32F4 Discovery:

    #ifdef CONFIG_FS_PROCFS
      /* Mount the procfs file system */

      ret = mount(NULL, STM32_PROCFS_MOUNTPOINT, "procfs", 0, NULL);
      if (ret < 0)
        {
          serr("ERROR: Failed to mount procfs at %s: %d\n",
               STM32_PROCFS_MOUNTPOINT, ret);
        }
    #endif

Unfortunately, you picked a board without that logic in its bringup.

Need to mount procfs for ifconfig to work.

It would be really helpful if the "procfs" word appeared in that error. That 
error is really cryptic.
Agreed.

I have created issue 1883 [1] and labeled it a "Good First Issue" as a
reminder to fix this.
