ahh
yes,

This is the kernel's internal mounting of the devfs.
I had thought I had not exported the line of code that
actually does this, but it appears that it slipped past me..
The DEVFS is mounted internally to the kernel. You cannot
get to it. (hense the name..'hidden mount' might be a better name)
This is not needed yet, but will be soon.
I don't see that error message, but are you sure it's the KERNEL
giving that message?

All is ok, it's just htat I didn't realise that I'd exported that
'feature' yet.

I'll look into it later tonight.
