I favor doing this too. I always move my Windoze HDD (hda) out of
/mnt. I currently mount it on /c. When I had a fat32 partition on hdb
(my Linux HDD), I mounted it as /d. This is 'specially nice with
supermount, since you don't have the pause while supermount checks your
removable media drives (eg, floppy, CD, CD-RW) for inserted media.
IIRC, the multi-disk howto also recommends mounting drives/partitions
directly off '/' , to improve disk performance, tho I've never seen a
difference.
