The kernel configuration is identical, except for kernel IP autoconfiguration, root over nfs, and compiled-in network driver. The NFS configuration on the host has 'no_root_squash', and <<now>> all the files on the host root file system are owned by root.
Any ideas?

The embedded system boots up and mounts the root file system on my host laptop. The 'rc.sysinit' startup script executes the command 'mount -a' which should mount /proc, /dev/pts, and /dev/shm, as listed in /etc/fstab. When executed, that command returns "mount: only root can do that".
When I get to the bash prompt, 'whoami' reports that I am, indeed, root. A 'mount -a' from the command prompt gives the same result; it doesn't think I'm root for the mount command.
I can chown a file owned by root to some other user, and I can create a file or directory in a directory owned by root; so it doesn't always think I'm not root.
on the server?
