TO ALL THOSE WITH PROBLEMS CHANGING THE MOUNT OF / TO SOMETHING
ELSE, READ ON:

The key is to use the handy 'umount' command first. The problem is that
the default is for c: to be mounted as '/'. You need to unmount this
first before you mount f: or e: or whatever: to '/'. Try this:

umount c:
mount e: /

maybe your wondering why its not named 'unmount', well historically it's been
called umount as a standard UNIX utility.

Hope this helps!

Jeff
