I don't mount a Linux partition but I have a Linux mount point for netbooting. I also do a chroot into this mounted at /compat/linux. The tricks I've done is to mount the hosts /dev ontop of the linux /compat/linux/dev and use linuxprocfs for /compat/linux/procfs. Then for sanity I do tmp as well. Then things basically just work. I use NFS for the mounts. Then when I netboot these overlays aren't seen in the other machine. Doug A.
