Nothing hardware-related should be done inside the server.

Execute "mesg n" before entering.
Or connect to the vserver via ssh.

/proc is hidden from the vserver.
If you want to access it, you can run (on the *host*) the "vprocunhide" script,
provided with the tools.

Forbidden (network hardware) inside the vserver.

> mount: permission denied

Forbidden.  You have to customize the file (on the host)
  /etc/vservers/<your-server-name>/fstab
