Correct. We should make this change as permanent as possible by removing
those stupid drive letters. Nothing should be mounted by default, instead
something like this would be nice:

# I don't want the floppy mounted.
# map a: /floppy
map c: /gemdog
# d: also not mounted
map e: /rootfs
map f: /usr
map g: /home
map h: /var

[yes, this can be done by using the `ren' command, but not mounting
the floppy is still not possible.]

sln ./rootfs/etc /
sln ./rootfs/root /

[...you get the idea...]

I think this would be easy to implement, at least much easier than a
real mount.

Bye,
Knarf
