The filesystem emulation is broken on this point. Hopefully it will
be fixed by the next release.
Did you try it with a mount point created at /?
I.E.: mkdir /tmp; mount d:\\temp /tmp
Although this will change the `ls -la /' to display the /tmp if you
`ls -la tmp' it will display the mount point directory which will be
empty instead of the mounted directory.

Remove the spaces. bash requires: alias dir='ls -la --color=yes'
