It's properly mounted on both machines, the mount command shows exactly
the same entries on working vs. non-working guests:

$ mount
/dev/hdv1 on / type ufs (defaults)
none on /proc type proc (defaults)
none on /tmp type tmpfs (size=10240m,mode=1777)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (gid=5,mode=620)

Here are a list of all devices on both systems:

lenny01:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   15 fd -> ../proc/self/fd
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 7 full
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root    0 log
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 2 ptmx
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    0 pts
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 8 random
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 shm
