[Buildroot] [BUILDROOT] /dev mounted additionally at /mnt

[Dennis Borgmann <dennis.borgmann@googlemail.com>]

Hello buildroot-list!

I am using buildroot-2010.08 on an at91sam9g20. Everything is really
nice, but if I boot my device, it mounts the whole root-filesystem under
'/mnt' , although its contents rather seem to be related to the
'/dev'-directory. See the output of 'mount',  'ls /mnt' and 'cat
/etc/fstab' at the end of this mail. The '/etc/fstab' does not contain a
hint about why this may be this way.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Dennis
