I had this problem here's the details cut from earlier mail:

The upshot is that if /proc/1/ exists(the /proc directory for PID 1,
aka
/sbin/init), it won't get mounted. This is because /proc is generally
mounted by /etc/init.d/checkroot.s; which tests for /proc/1/ before
running 'mount -n /proc'. I don't know what kind of effects having
/proc
mounted on-top of another /proc would have, but I imagine it could be
bad. And, at any rate, it's stupid to have that :) So the check is
reasonable.
