+DYNAMIC ROOT
+============
+
+A mount option is available to create a serverless mount that is only usable
+for dynamic lookup. Creating such a mount can be done by, for example:
+
+ mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn
+
+This creates a mount that just has an empty directory at the root. Attempting
+to look up a name in this directory will cause a mountpoint to be created that
+looks up a cell of the same name, for example:
+
+ ls /afs/grand.central.org/
