Recently I did a fresh install of Gentoo 2007. I noticed that the /proc line was missing from fstab. The checksum of the stage3 was correct. Am I missing something here? Or is this a rather serious bug?

Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#

# <fs>         <mountpoint>   <type>      <opts>      <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/BOOT      /boot      ext2      noauto,noatime   1 2
/dev/ROOT      /      ext3      noatime      0 1
/dev/SWAP      none      swap      sw      0 0
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom   audo      noauto,ro   0 0
#/dev/fd0      /mnt/floppy   auto      noauto      0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm         /dev/shm   tmpfs      nodev,nosuid,noexec   0 0

Not a typo, not a bug. From /etc/conf.d/rc:
Quote:

# RC_USE_FSTAB allows you to override the default mount options for the
# standard /proc, /sys, /dev, and /dev/pts mount points. Note that this
# is the new way for selecting ramfs/tmpfs/etc... for udev mounting.

RC_USE_FSTAB="no"

Lol. Good to hear this is supposed to be. How come I missed this? I read Gwn and follow Gentoo announce.

I don't know. I never saw anything about it. I just happened to be fiddling with the file a while back and saw that section.

It wasn't formally announced, but it was on the responsible developer's blog:
