     Had some trouble mounting EXT2FS file systems from /etc/fstab and from
the command line when options other than ro were specified
(2.2-960612-SNAP).

     I looked into this and found the cause to be that an old mntopts.h
(missing the new m_altloc field) exists in the sbin/mount_ext2fs directory,
resulting in mismatched definitions between mount_ext2fs.o and
getmntopts.o.

     Noticed this problem still exists in the -current tree.  Looks like
the old mnttab.h just needs deleted and mount_ext2fs.c revised (below).

     In case anyone else has hit this, the fix that worked for me is:

      - (cd /usr/src; untar ssbin.??)                       
      - cd sbin/mount_ext2fs                                
      - rm mnttab.h                                         
      - edit mount_ext2fs.c and add ",0" to end of getmntopts()' argument list
      - make                                                
      - mv mount_ext2fs /sbin
