--- Description ---
Hi. The pkg-message instructs to do the following:

    For install:
	Some programs need linprocfs mounted on /compat/linux/proc.  Add the
	following line to /etc/fstab:

	linprocfs   /compat/linux/proc	linprocfs	rw	0	0

	Then run "mount /compat/linux/proc".

	Some programs need linsysfs mounted on /compat/linux/sys.  Add the
	following line to /etc/fstab:

	linsysfs    /compat/linux/sys	linsysfs	rw	0	0

	Then run "mount /compat/linux/sys".

	Some programs need tmpfs mounted on /compat/linux/dev/shm.  Add the
	following line to /etc/fstab:

	tmpfs	 /compat/linux/dev/shm	tmpfs	rw,mode=1777	0	0

	Then run "mount /compat/linux/dev/shm". 

This is outdated, the /etc/rc.d/linux script handles this automatically.
Having this lines in /etc/fstab caused my system (FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE with
zfs) to abort startup with 'Mounting /etc/fstab filesystems failed' resp.
'mount: /compat/linux/dev/shm: No such file or directory'. 
This could be a configuration issue on my end but undoing this changes to
/etc/fstab fixed my system and the filesystems are mounted properly by
/etc/rc.d/linux so i think this pkg-message should be updated.
