HJ posted this a week ago. Here is what you have to do.
- Get the new mount package mount-0.99.6.tar.z from an ftp site and
compile/install it. (executables are installed in /etc as they should,
so remove any of the mount/umount/swapon binaries in /bin.)
- create /etc/fstab file that contains for each filesystem (including root).
/dev/device /directory systemtype defaults
for example
/dev/hda1 / minix defaults
- edit your /etc/rc so that it contains.
/bin/rm -f /etc/mtab
/etc/mount -av
Remove any other lines that try to create /etc/mtab or mount.
Change /bin/swapon to /etc/swapon
- reboot and surprise, df works again.
