when doing binds of # devices from the shell, be sure to quote the

when the shell isn't involved, as is the case for /lib/namespace.

the "normal" FAT partitions are mounted, i assume, because they're
mostly present in dual-boot setups, where people are likely to have
useful information on that, or want to be able to transfer information
between the Plan 9 and Win32 worlds (and since Win32 is nearly
hopeless for mounting other disk types). the 9fat partition, by
contrast, is solely intended for configuration data, and is thus read
and written much less often. having it mounted all the time simply
introduces another potential for human error.
