	In the "/etc/rc" script you will find this line (usually):

		for i in .cleanup .lpstartsched .phinit .modeminit wmgr smgr 

	Looking in "/etc/.cleanup" produces this:

		# Clean out and initialize the mount table
		> /etc/mnttab
		devnm / | setmnt
		/etc/mountable

		[...]

	You can fix this easily  8^)
	I know about it because I had the same exact
	problem and spent much sweat on it...
