Do you have a file called "/etc/fstab" ? That is the filesystem table, ie this is what the system looks at at boot time to determine what disks to mount. So for example, here's mine: $ cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # /dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda4 /usr/local ext2 defaults 0 2 $ So for each partition you want mounted at boot time, you need an entry (in addition to /proc and swap), just do "man fstab" (and also "man mount") for the meanings of the various options. hope that helps, marc
