for cygwin-b20.1 on w98:

i remember reading something about the mounting-system changing between b20.1 and the current snapshots (or something similar to that, hopefully), so maybe this is irrelevant to those

but what exactly could cause "mount" to say that a pathname does not exist, when it looks definitely like it does?


eg:
== == == ==

% mount -b c:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/h-i586-cygwin32/bin /bin

returns:

"Warning: /bin does not exist!"

( and
   % cd /bin
   % dir
  shows all o.k.)


== == == ==

also, if i'm mounting /bin like that, will it cause things in ~/i586-cygwin32/bin to be ignored?  or are those things a redundancy for someone not currently doing cygwin-builds for multiple platforms?


( and is i586 any different than what might be built on an AMD K6 ?)


thanks
