First, you can make the mount point off of "/" by simply making a
directory there: "mkdir /Media"
Next, you can make this an automatic mount by putting an appropriate entry
in /etc/fstab. This file contains all of the partition information and
the corresponding mount points.
First:::::::::: do a "man mount" and read up on the options.
Then, consider adding this to the end of the /etc/fstab file:
/dev/hdb3 /Media vfat defaults 1 2
Issue "mount -a" afterward. This will mount all directories specified as
auto (implicit in the "default" option) in the /etc/fstab file.
Next time you boot up [in about a year or two, right?] the mounting of
/Media will be done automatically.
