Normally /bin lives in the same partition as / as it contains essential binaries. Normally you could run # mount -a Which will mount all filesystems in /etc/fstab, but because your /etc is on a different partition, presumably it is not already mounted. You have a catch-22. Maybe there is a clever use of the mount command to get the filesystem up (if you know the partition layout) but I suggest you re-install and put /etc, /bin and /dev on the / partition. /var should have its own partition so this is ok. Run the following for a good overview of the filesystem: # man hier Regards Ashley
