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.
