Yea that's what I thought. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm sorry. df's output was identical to df /dev/hdb except that it is mounted
at "/"

Oh my god!!!! Thanks, Ray. My girlfriend just informed me that my life
as been
spared. And I only have you and Lawson to thank for this. Everything is there.
In hdb1.
So if I may...... could you explain how I should have the partitions being
mounted???
hda1 is at /
and hdb isn't being mounted anywhere, it seems.
So, does the mount command when partitioning do the same thing as the
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
command just did??? Is it just automating it so that it's mounted at startup?
How do I direct /home to go directly to hdb1???
This is kinda fun (now that my girlfriend isn't gonna kill me?).
