There is nothing special about /mnt - it's just a directory (or set of
directories like /mnt/floppy, /mnt/cdrom, etc). Also, the main names
(like /etc) could be symbolic links. Here's how I might solve this:
== cramfs contents
/bin
/home
/lib
/root
/sbin
/usr
/JFFS2 (just a mount point)
/etc => /JFFS2/etc
/tftpboot => /JFFS2/tmp
/RAMDISK (another mount point)
/tmp => /RAMDISK/tmp
/var => /RAMDISK/var
/dev and /proc are special. If you enable "devfs" and "procfs" in the
kernel they get populated automatically, all you need do is mount them.
