-
- It seems to me, that the problem may be caused by the new mount command. My
- guess is that your /usr or whatever isn't being mounted at boot time, and
- your shell probably is in the /usr partition.
-
- Try going back to the old mount. Or check that your /etc/fstab or
- /etc/checklist are set up correctly. Also check your /etc/rc file and make
- sure that all your partitions will be mounted.
