I'm sorry, but I've read the entire FAQ and I still don't understand how
to mount my root filesystem in binary mode.

This is what I'm doing:

--------
C:\>mount
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
\\.\tape1:       /dev/st1            native      text!=binary
\\.\tape0:       /dev/st0            native      text!=binary
\\.\b:           /dev/fd1            native      text!=binary
\\.\a:           /dev/fd0            native      text!=binary
C:               /                   native      text!=binary

C:\>umount /

C:\>mount
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
\\.\tape1:       /dev/st1            native      text!=binary
\\.\tape0:       /dev/st0            native      text!=binary
\\.\b:           /dev/fd1            native      text!=binary
\\.\a:           /dev/fd0            native      text!=binary
C:               /                   native      text!=binary

C:\>umount C:

C:\>mount

\\.\b:           /dev/fd1            native      text!=binary

C:               /                   native      text!=binary

C:\>umount C:/

C:\>mount

\\.\a:           /dev/fd0            native      text!=binary
C:               /                   native      text!=binary

C:\>umount C:\

C:\>mount

C:               /                   native      text!=binary
--------

I just can't unmount the C: drive - and that means I get "device or
resource busy" when I try to mount it in binary mode.

I've looked at the registry with a view to changing the mount points by
hand, but they appear in several different places, and always under
"b15.0".

Am I missing something here?

(I'm using B19.1, plus coolview.  Everything works fine, apart from
those things that don't like text!=binary.)
