The problem here is that emulators/suse91_base creates 
${EMULDIR}/etc/mtab as a symlink to ${EMULDIR}/proc/mounts

[hf@venediger] /<3>emulators/suse91_base > fgrep mtab *
Makefile:       ${LN} -fs ${EMULDIR}/proc/mounts ${EMULDIR}/etc/mtab
PLIST:${EMULSUBDIR}/etc/mtab
[hf@venediger] /<3>emulators/suse91_base >

-- but even if you 'mount -o linux' procfs to ${EMULDIR}/proc, the 
link target is an empty file, which won't do for TSM.

As it is, the TSM package Makefile replaces this symlink with one to /etc/fstab

[hf@venediger] /<3>wip/tsm > fgrep mtab *
Makefile:       @${TEST} -f ${EMULDIR}/etc/mtab || ${LN} -fs 
/etc/fstab ${EMULDIR}/etc/mtab
[hf@venediger] /<3>wip/tsm >

but of course the proper fix is to have procfs provide the necessary 
information in ${EMULDIR}/proc/mounts like linux machines do.
