(a) Oops, that should be
mount -t foo -o -x=bart /dev/dk0 /mnt
(b) This is what I did back in the 1.4T days when I added an option to
mount_ffs that allowed making the root point of the mount something
further down in the on-disk filesystem than its root. I added an
option to mount_ffs, -p PATH, to specify the path within the filesystem
to find the root of the mount point. So, in a tiny way, there is prior
art even aside from mount_mfs.
