    It enables the mountkernfs script or, if you prefer, opens that file and scans the comment at the beginning to try to identify a boot script. BTW, the mountkernfs.sh script does what its name say: mount the kernel onto the fs under the /sys and /proc directories. Commented Apr 4, 2014 at 12:13
  • This is the answer for raspbmc. Raspian has multiple options for configuring things, but due tot eh way raspbmc interfaces, you need to drop to the shell, start mountkernfs, and then run dpkg-configure. Just doing dpkg-configure gives an error that mountkernfs is not running Commented Oct 24, 2015 at 20:24
  • So, considering the question was about raspbmc, do you mean this is the correct answer instead of the one with more votes? Commented Oct 26, 2015 at 16:01
