I take it it is clear there are two messages here:
The first -

   Then next time you boot, ps should work. In the meantime do:
   mount /proc /proc -t proc

and a rather confusing error message because /proc isnt mounted -

   ps.c:/proc/uptime: No such file or directory

I have SLS 1.03 with linux 0.99pl12 and on my system the cmd line mount
works fine. I fact I find it better to do the mount in /etc/rc as

mount -a -nonfs <<< or something similar, I cant remember the exact flags

This mount everything except nfs mount filesystems which cant be mounted
as the daemons havn't been started yet.

(I hope this isn't too trivial to bother posting but this is my first posting so
I might as well start with something simple - now I need a sig file)
