before people blame me for corrupting their filesystems, here is a hint:
registering a filesystem doesn't give you moral right to attempt to mount
it :)
seriously though, FS_SINGLE filesystems must be kern_mount()'d before they
can be user-mounted so if you try to usermount the filesystem below you
will get an oops for a well-known reason (nothing to do with terminals or
X :) (and after the oops you won't be able to umount any filesystems so
fsck will be inevitable)
