Check your /etc/fstab file for lines that callup these partitions to
mount. I don't think this is a bug, propably just an operator error.
Make sure you have those directory's at your / level. Then make sure
your /etc/fstab has some lines such as:
## User Defined ===============================================================
/dev/sda1 /dos vfat defaults,noauto,user 0 0
^^^^^^
Note that will allow you mount them manually with the command 'mount /dos'
If you want them mounted automaically at boot time, just remove the 'noauto'.
