`/etc/mtab' is normally a symlink to `/proc/mounts'. Delete it and fake it
with something like the following:

  $ cat /etc/mtab
  none /proc proc rw 0 0
  none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
  root / none rw 0 0

Now `mount' and `df' will look reasonable. Or even better, use a properly
designed script that does all the other things like tidy out `/dev'.
