I think this has something to do with rootfs.  Try looking at /proc/mounts
as well.  For example, on my machine:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mirrorsh $ mount
/dev/vg_sys/lv_root on / type reiserfs
/dev/vg_sys/lv_root on / type reiserfs
...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mirrorsh $ cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/vg_sys/lv_root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
...

I unfortunately don't even know what "rootfs" is. I read somewhere that
certain parts of the system (e.g., 'mount') will recognize the rootfs 
as a double mount of whatever's mounted on top of /, even though it's
not.
