The following patch fixes a couple of minor annoyances with /etc/init.d/dsl-functions:

* find_mountpoint greps mtab and fstab to find where the mountpoint for a given device should be. If the fstab contains two lines like these:

Code Sample
#/dev/hda1 /some/mountpoint ...
/dev/hda1 /some/other/mountpoint ...


then find_mountpoint will return both mountpoints when it should just return the uncommented one. This can be fixed by using ^ in the regular expression to match from beginning of the line.

* Send output of mount/umount commands to /dev/null when autoscaning for backup.tar.gz. This prevents the following error messages being shown on bootup:

mount: no medium found
umount: /mnt/auto/cdrom is not mounted
