Hi Todd, below is output of /etc/mtab:

The first one is the root of the drive, the forward slash. That one mounted or you wouldn't have booted the system at all. Same with the second one "/boot". Become root and try `mount -a`. That mounts all filesystems listed in /etc/fstab. One of them will output an error. Another thing you could try is `cat /etc/mtab`. This will tell you what's actually mounted right now. If there's something listed in your /etc/fstab that's *not* in /etc/mtab, then it failed to mount. And tell us what `df` says. -todd
