I saw that someone else (Richard, I think) gave you some advice about how to
proceed, based in part on guesses about your equipment and such. If those
helped sufficiently, then great. If not, I wanted to suggest that you post
again with a bit more detail this time, including ...
1. What version of Slackware?
2. What equipment you have -- especially what kind of CD-ROM drive.
3. What procedure you followed to get to the point where you had mount
problems - like Richard, I couldn't figure out why you would be using mount
explicitly - the setup script does this for you.
4. Which bootdisk you are using (the bootdisk is the first one you use,
probably the one you call "one startup the machine"). A Slackware CD has
many bootdisk images, mainly to accommodate different CD drives (one
strength of Slackware is its continuing support for really eccentric CD
drives), and you may be using the wrong one. There's a text file in the boot
disk directory, I believe called "whichone", that has information about what
to use for different drive types.)
