Do you have the installation manuals handy? If so, please read them. The
first partion you are going to boot from must be '/', ignoring the quotes.
All subsequent partitions are '/somename'.
Linux does not understand the drive-colon world of Mr. Gates. It uses
devices and partitions to do it's file management, i.e., your first hard
drive would be hda, its partitions would be hda1, hda2, etc.
It appears you're coming from the Windows world. May I suggest going to a
bookstore and getting any book on Linux you can find, just make sure it has
some material in it on installation and file system management.
