OK.  It's now:

        if ! test -e /proc/stat; then
                if [ "$(uname)" = "GNU/kFreeBSD" ] ; then
                        # startpar requires /proc/stat
                        mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /proc
                fi
        fi

Is this OK?


BTW, #542953 is still open with kFreeBSD patches, but it looks quite
outdated and will no longer apply.  Can this be closed, or are there
any unresolved kFreeBSD issues here which need attention?  If there
are, could you possibly take a look, or else close the bug?


Thanks,
Roger
