  16. Whoops ... 10 minutes more experimentation showed that making a symbolic link
  17. from /etc/mount_lo to /usr/etc/mount_lo suddenly made /etc/mount understand
  18. the "lo" filesystem type.  I guess that "tfs" might start working with a
  19. link from /etc/mount_tfs to /usr/etc/mount_tfs too.  I wonder why sun ship
  20. systems without these links installed?
