Your mount command (as given above) is making a DOS file system accessible under a Linux directory. That seems unusual. If you just want to run loadlin, I recommend something simpler: In DOS, execute: mkdir <dirname> To be specific, I'll use the word lboot for dirname, but feel free to pick another. Then unzip lodlinNN.zip into c:\lboot. Then boot Linux. mount -t /dev/hda1/lboot /dos cp /vmlinuz /dos/lboot Then reboot DOS. cd lboot Make yourself a file called "linux.bat", or whatever you like. Include these two lines: smartdrv /C c:\lboot\loadlin c:\lboot\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro Then execute your batch file by just typing "linux". Good luck, Susan Kleinmann
