Well, I specified reiserfs on the command that I sent you but that may be 
wrong, since your disk may be ext3 or some other filesystem type.  You need 
to specify the right one.

As for the mnt point, if it doesn't exist, from the console in rescue mode, 
you can always issue the mkdir /mnt/root command and then issue the mount 
command.  That way, the mount point will be created.  The /mnt directory 
should exist as I think that it is created on the ramdrive that Mandrake uses 
to run rescue mode.

This is assuming that Mandrake was installed to a single partition, IIRC, the 
default is two partitions, a / and /home partition.
