After modifying > /etc/fstab, of course. The right thing to do is to change the base-files package to utilize /proc/cygdrive. It's a vrtual symlink pointing to the actual cygdrive prefix currently in use. If these symlinks under /etc used the /proc/cygdrive symlink, they would work all the time, independenly of the actual cygdrive prefix. Achim, any chance to tweak base-file accordingly?
