[PLUG] Slackware Firefox out of date

[Ben Koenig]

mount requires 2 parameters

mount <device> <mountpoint>

Read my previous message again.
$ mkdir /mnt/boot
$ mkdir /mnt/rootfs
$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
$ mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/rootfs


mkdir is to create mountpoints.
mount is then run to "mount" the parititions to the mountpoints we just
created.
