That indicates that someone has the share open, by the looks of your prompt, you are probably sitting in /mnt, so your shell process is holding the directory open. Try: cd / umount /mnt if it still doesn't work, try fuser -m /mnt That will list all of the process ids that have the mount point open

A better way to do this is to boot once using the root=/dev/hdb1 (or whatever) and then use the "rdev" command to change the root device in your kernel. I think you use it like: rdev /dev/hdb1 /boot/vmlinuz that will change /boot/vmlinuz to use /dev/hdb1 as its root device. Andre > It is possible
