Would that be a problem?
You would need to mount it twice. Then emulated programs will use /emul/linux/procfs and non-emulated programs will use /procfs. However, since some time the 'linux' mount option is the default, so on newer NetBSD this isn't necessary at all. >Another question would be this.

That's /var/shm, not /var/sh. Previously NetBSD wouldn't use /var/shm for itself, so you needed to create something for emulated programs. But with recent NetBSD it should just work with /var/shm for emulated programs too and you don't need the /emul/linux/var/shm mount. >Would it be better to leave the fstab intact, not changing it and >running linux applications? In any case, it is necessary to not replace the native entries. You may add the /emul/linux entries, but it is not necessary nowadays. procfs went linux-compatible with netbsd-6. /var/shm is used since netbsd-7.
