I ran slackware over umsdos just to try out linux, but I've since chucked
all the documentation away. I think what you observe is just a feature of
the way umsdos works. C:\LINUX gets promoted to / and C:\ is made visible
to linux as /DOS, IIRC. Quite where one would expect to see /dev/hda1
mounted is a complete mystery to me! (Presumably, you can't see /DOS/linux
either, even though you know C:\LINUX exists. I don't remember.)

umsdos and df command

1997-07-29 Thread Jim Foltz
Hello everyone

I have made a small (3.5M) Linux installation for DOS users so they can 
use the network services of our local community network. (free PPP 
limited to an hour per day; not bad for nuthin' huh?)

Anyway, it uses umsdos. I am using a bastardized version of
/etc/init.d/boot and have prety much left the filesystem checking as it is
by default. The umsdos filesystem (root) is mounted and sync'd ok, but the
df command does not show that /dev/hda1 was mounted, although it obviously
is because the system boots. 

Can anyone offer a clue as to why this might be?
