Craig,
Here's a follow up:
If you apply both patches #1 & #2, then if /proc is not mounted the user will
be left with a blank screen. No message, no hint of trouble -- nothing but a
useable terminal.
If you apply just patch #1, then if /proc is not mounted the user will be left
with a blank screen. No message, no hint of trouble AND an unusable terminal
that may or may not be resettable.
If you do nothing, then the user will be told that /proc isn't mounted and will
even be instructed on how to mount it.
Jim
