>Description:
	If /etc/fstab has a entry for null mounted file system, 
	for example,
	
		 ... 
		/dev/sd1g	/home	ufs	rw 1 2
		 ... 
		/home		/h	null	rw,noauto 0 0
		 ... 

	'/sbin/dump /home' complaines "there is no /rhome" then terminates.  
	Whether /h is actually mounted or not makes no difference.  
	I only checked about 'null' file system, but the problem may be
	occur on other file system types which mounts existing file system
	to another mount point.

	'/sbin/dump /dev/sd1g' works just fine.

>How-To-Repeat:
	As in 'Description' above.
>Fix:
	I have no patches to offer right now. Sorry.
