Why don't you modify mount2dir instead? (second case: /dev/* ->
/dev/*|none) 

That's how I do it now, and it seems to work.

/tmp/target/proc seems never to be mounted on my machine, or at least it
gets unmounted before faiend ... where I have the chance to look at the
system (fai-chboot -FIv name for now)

This is for version 1.3 of /usr/lib/fai/mount2dir. I'm a bit late again.

BTW, when you start to modify mount2dir: in the sysinfo case, there
might be a $mountpoint of "swap" instead of "none" which also should be
skipped, else one gets error messages while trying to mount
/tmp/targetswap ...

the udevd daemon. 

Since hooks can only be placed in front of a task, it's kind of
futile...
