Also, as to not mounting any local fs's: The message appears at the boot when system reads your /etc/fstab file, where partitions and directories to mount onto them are located. Check it out, seems like your /etc/fstab is blank, although in that case / and /usr would not mount either, so you would not be able to do anything . Andrew
