I am trying to figure out how to mount 3 msdos partitions and make 
them read/write.  I have put the following in my fstab file


and, although it write enables them I get the following message on 
startup:

mount: /dev/hda1 Not a mount point
mount: /dev/hda5 Not a mount point
mount: /dev/hdb5 Not a mount point

The other problem then is accessing files copied to those drives 
from msdos.  I try the cp command and the files show up under linux, 
but not under msdos.  I tried the mcopy but get a duplicate file 
message.

Help on either would be appreciated.
Thanks
