I would first try doing things manually to make sure that ps and proc fs work
and also to eliminate possible problems (note: you need to be root to do this)::
mkdir /proc
mount -t proc /proc /proc
ps
If this works, then the problem is probably that the line in /etc/fstab
is incorrect (though what you indicated looks right).
If this doesn't work, then you either have an old version of mount or
your kernel was compiled without the proc fs support.
