/etc/vfstab Field Descriptions

While I was reading a Sun SysAdmin Guide, I came across this point...

/etc/vfstab Field Descriptions
mount at boot -

The root (/), /usr and /var file systems are not mounted from the vfstab file initially.
This field should always be set to no for these file systems and for virtual file systems such as /proc and /dev/fd.

My question is if root (/) etc.. are not mounted from vfstab.. then what is the process at startup.??

Also any reasons why it is set as NO..

Any views would be highly appreciated.
