Hmm, this could get rather messy. Maybe we ought to move procfs to be the
first thing initialised under fs, followed by the partitions and then the
other filesystems. Example patch attached.
This would then allow NWFS to scan the available partitions, if it does it
via its initcall function. Maybe Jeff could comment on this?
