Ah.

Ok, 2 things.

1) Busybox mount doesn't currently have any support for smbfs, that I am aware 
of.  (Patches welcome.  I don't even know what would be involved.  We do have 
support for nfs, which hopefully the recent patch just fixed, and which I 
suppose is important enough to merit a 1.1.1.1.)

2) On ubunutu, I get:
    $mount -o remount /dev/hdc
    mount: /media/cdrom0 not mounted already, or bad option
  Using busybox mount:
    ./busybox mount -o remount /dev/hdc
    mount: Can't find /dev/hdc in /proc/mounts

P.S.  Is it just me, or are we having serious number trouble with these 
releases?  1.00, 1.01, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1...  I mean, I know ones and 
zeroes are great and all, but we've _got_ to stick a 2 in there eventually...
