Subject: trailing slash and mount(8)?

Why is 'mount /foo/' different from 'mount /foo'?

If I have an entry in fstab of
/dev/da0g               /foo/         ufs     ro,noauto       1       1
'mount /foo' fails, and vice versa, but umount(8) seems to do what I
expect, which is ignore the trailing slash.

Is there a reason for this?

Just a curiosity,
Robert
