That should not matter for establishing mounts.  Also, keep in mind that 7
worked fine with the same settings.  In fact, I'm just booting an 8 kernel
on the same 7 userland currently and it's only the 8 kernel that has the
problem (a pure 8 system also has the same symptoms, so it's not a problem
due to mixing a 7 world with 8 kernel).
