There are still some remaining errors like that:

These come from S08mtab.sh, in the "Add entries for mounts created in
early boot" section.  The mount_filesystems function only knows about
Linux-specific filesystems (proc, sysfs) and also uses the remount
option not supported by kFreeBSD for these filesystems.

I don't think we even need to run S08mtab.sh on GNU/kFreeBSD, as
/etc/mtab is only symlinked to /proc/mounts.  Maybe we could exit early
with:

# Abort if /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts (e.g. on GNU/kFreeBSD)
[ "$(readlink /etc/mtab)" = "/proc/mounts" ] && exit 0

As far as I can tell the errors are harmless though.
