/dev should probably be used when DEVFS is present, or else devfs should be
mounted on /mnt/dev as well as /dev.  The /mnt/dev hack was a workaround for
the non-devfs case.  It doesn't apply for devfs.

Not sure what this is all about.  /etc/fstab should exist in theory.  Actually,
it might not exist yet.  During an install w/o using existing partitions
we don't have a / filesystem to put /etc/fstab in.  Probably we should use an
explicit fsck_ffs or fsck -t ffs when fscking existing filesystems from
sysinstall.
