Some thoughts:
- /mnt/hal/ suggests (at least to those which know what it may be) that
   there are mountpoints which are controled by something.
- Do have /mnt/hal/media/* and /mnt/media/* to be that deep?
- Some (a lot) docs refer to mounting someting to /mnt or /mnt2, using
   /mnt/XXX would result in unwanted behavior if someone follows
   those docs.
- Does it hurt to add a new directory to the rootfs and to hier(7)
   for the purpose of algorithm controled mounting?

Bye,
Alexander.
