But what do you mean "/usr isn't mounted at that point?". Have you
read man fstab?

Probably I mistinterpreted man fstab, but it's complaining that /compat/linux
doesn't exist even though it does:

ls -ld /compat /usr/compat /usr/compat/linux
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Jun 7 2005 /compat -> usr/compat
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Jun 8 2005 /usr/compat
drwxr-xr-x 22 root wheel 512 Aug 22 03:51 /usr/compat/linux

I haven't followed this thread, so I may be way off here, but...

In the above, /compat is a link to usr/compat. (note the -> symbol)
I suspect that you cannot mount on a link, and that mount
doesn't follow links.

You probably would have to mount on /usr/compat directly
or make /compat a real directory and not a link or something.

BTW I'm running 6.1 (upgraded from an original 5.3 install)

Usually an output of "uname -a" is much more informative here. 6.1 may
mean release, release + security patches, stable... And a platform
also is of interest here.

6.1-RELEASE-p4 i386
