Hello, 

First off I'm not running NetBSD but FreeBSD and hope the concept may
provide some ideas. On my FreeBSD-4.2 system here at work I have the
following in my /etc/fstab


# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options        
Dump    Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b             none            swap    sw             
0       0
/dev/ad0s1a             /               ufs     rw             
1       1
/dev/ad0s1f             /usr            ufs     rw             
2       2
/dev/ad0s1e             /var            ufs     rw             
2       2
/dev/acd0c              /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto      
0       0
proc                    /proc           procfs  rw             
0       0
linproc         /compat/linux/proc    linprocfs rw             
0       1 

Some of the files in there are

This may provide some ideas, it's the closest I've seen to the
standard /proc on Linux in the *BSD environment.
