Thomas Veerman 6759b24c57 /etc/rc: use mount -a instead of manual parsing
The rc script manually parses /etc/fstab to mount all file systems.
To do that it needs /bin/sed which does not exist anymore. mount(8)
now supports the -a flag which causes it to mount all file systems
listed in /etc/fstab except for '/'. File systems marked with 'noauto'
are skipped.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The file system contained on the special file \fIspecial\fP is mounted on
\fIfile\fP. If the value of "\fBnone\fP" is given for \fIspecial\fP,
the file system is mounted without a block special device underneath it.
In the first example above, the root directory of the file system in drive 1
can be accessed as
.B /user
after the mount.
When the file system is no longer needed, it must be unmounted before being
removed from the drive.
.PP
The
.B \-t
parameter may be used to mount a file system of a type other than the default.
The
.B \-o
flag may be used to pass options to the file system server.
The interpretation of these options is up to the server.
.PP
If \fBmount\fP is invoked without any parameters, it will print the list of
currently mounted file systems according to
.BR mtab (5).
