I am currently using the csh as root's shell.  What I have done, however,
is fix the file /etc/bcheckrc, because it is the one putting the bogus
errors into the /etc/mnttab file.  Instead of:
	/bin/su root -c "/etc/devnm /" | grep -v swap | /etc/setmnt
mine now reads:
	/bin/su root -c "/etc/devnm /" | grep -v swap | grep -v Bad |
		grep -v Using | /etc/setmnt

(The above is on ONE line, not multiple lines).  I noticed this problem
long before I changed root's shell to /bin/csh.  You may ask me why
I have chosen three greps instead of a much easier egrep.  A simple
response is egrep exists in /usr/bin while grep exists in /bin.  On
some systems, / and /usr are separate filesystems and attempting to
use egrep at this point would most assuredly fail.
