Created attachment 346591 [details] Proposed documentation change. Description of problem: Using autofs in a diskless root environment requires the creation of a symbolic link from /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab. This is not included in the current documentation installed to /usr/share/doc/system-config-netboot-0.1.145.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-netboot-0.1.45.1-1.el5 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow the steps shown in the documentation. 2. Try to get make autofs work Actual results: autofs dosn't work until you take the extra step of linking /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts Expected results: autofs should work after following the steps in the documentation Additional info: This is a request to update the documentation, not the code. Attached patch adds the additional information to the documentation.
