I also saw the same problem. I tracked it down to the /etc/fstab entry
above the proc entry, the one for the root filesystem.
It originally read:
/dev/hda4 /root ext2 deafaults

and it should read:
/dev/hda4 / ext2 deafaults

I believe that the /root is a leftover from the install process.

This also caused a secondary problem with the networking because
ifconfig uses the /proc filesystem to setup the routing tables. Since
/proc wasn't mounted ifconfig didn't work properly (but it also didn't
complain about it either).

Other than this, SLS 1.03 has been great!

Good Luck
