840 umount $NFSROOT/proc

858 do_scriptss calls every script class/<classname>/S[0-9]* when class is
859 not a file, execute all S[0-9]* scripts in a directory
860 /fai/scripts/$class/, skip all comment lines when definig classes
861 task_partition() call setup_harddisks only if no disk_var.sh exists
