So I tried to redo my = mount points.
I typed 'mount --reset', which produced no errors.
I typed 'mount d: /', and I got the message
mount failed: Device or resource busy
I thrashed around a bit, without being able to mount d: as /
I would prefer not using the registry editor if possible to fix = this.

What you need is not mount -reset. You need = umount:

bash$ umount /

bash$ mount c:\\ /

This will do it. ( In my computer, I mounted the root as = following: bash$=20 mount e:\\gnuwin32\\b18 / )

Subject: mount woes

I have a computer running windows nt 4.0 = server,=20 sp2.
I installed beta-18.
I wish to mount d: / since my NT partition is there, and I
installed beta-18 there.
I have read the readme.txt, which refers me to faq.txt.
I have read the faq.txt, which says:

When I type mount, I get what I assume the defaults are, which are:
Device          =20 Directory          =20 Type        Flags
\\.\tape1:      =20 /dev/st1           = ;=20 native      no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
\\.\tape0:      =20 /dev/st0           = ;=20 native      no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
\\.\b:          =20 /dev/fd1           = ;=20 native      no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
\\.\a:          =20 /dev/fd0           = ;=20 native      no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary
c:            = ;  =20 /            =       =20 native      no-mixed,text!=3Dbinary

Any ideas?
