I don't think it can be done from DOS. You could use REGEDIT or
bash
bash$ cd /cygnus/b19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin
bash$ ./umount /
bash$ ./mount -b //C/root /
Note: Do nothing else between umount and mount.
The reason it won't work at the DOS prompt is that when the
cygwinb19.dll initializes part of the initialization will add the c:\
as / to the registry. This is also the reason why you can't do
anything else between unmount and mount. Using mount from DOS for
other directories would be no problem.
Please read the IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE at the end of this note.

-------------------- IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE ------------------------
You should get the following to update your cygwinb19 package:
Sergey Okhapkin's coolview package which contains an updated
cygwinb19.dll. (Yes, even if you've already downloaded the b19.1
update from the Cygnus Site).
Mumit Khan's compilation of EGCS for the cygwinb19.dll; especially if
your using the C++ compiler. The current version of the compiler that
comes with the tools has lots of problems that have been fixed with
the EGCS version. This is a drop-in replacement for the GCC toolset.
URL's are listed above.
