I think that the original question about how to use the mount command
is entirely valid.  Anyone who uses FreeBSD or Linux knows that the
_real_ mount command has its arguments reversed to the cygwin version.

BTW.  When you use Midnight Commander, you may start off in the /dev/hda5
directory (E:\ Dos drive) whose parent directory is /dev (C:\dev in Dos).
In other words, clicking at the top of the /dev/hda5 column using mc.exe
or tkmc.exe moves you c:\dev, assuming you named such a directory on your
c:\ drive.
