how to get at the files "under" a mount point?

Haven't tried it - but what happens if you remount the /dev/ entry for
/ somewhere else?

>From the man page:
 Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to remount part of the file
hierarchy somewhere else. The call is
              mount --bind olddir newdir
 After this call the same contents is accessible in two places.

Let me know if it works :-)
