I found that my /etc/fstab was written like
/dev/sda1 /root other
/dev/sda3 /root/usr stuff
/dev/sda4 /root/home here
proc /proc ...

and that I needed to change it to get rid of the "root" part. Before
I did this, I found that df and mount were unable to tell me anything
about my sysetem. After this change, all was well. Once I made this
change, the proc stuff started working as well.
