Mount Maps
**********

   Amd has no built-in knowledge of machines or filesystems.  External
"mount-maps" are used to provide the required information.
Specifically, Amd needs to know when and under what conditions it
should mount filesystems.

   The map entry corresponding to the requested name contains a list of
possible locations from which to resolve the request.  Each location
specifies filesystem type, information required by that filesystem (for
example the block special device in the case of UFS), and some
information describing where to mount the filesystem (Note: fs
Option).  A location may also contain "selectors" (Note: Selectors).
