So far so good...
How do I mount the filesystems "relative to the CD..."?

I know how to mount for instance a cdrom (mnt /dev/cd0 /cdrom).
Is it similar to that?

I'm just a newbie...

There should be a /mnt directory that is empty. If not make one.
Then:
#cd /
#mount /dev/stand /mnt
#cd mnt
#restore stand.bak
#cd /
#umount /dev/stand
#mount /dev/root /mnt
#cd mnt
#restore root.bak
#cd /
#umount /dev/root

I had a "feeling" it was something like that, straight forward and logical.

I just didn't want to "destroy" anything...

Again, thanks for the help...

Well, I tried to mount the stand and root systems.

I get two different errors when I do...

When I type: mount /dev/stand /mnt
I get the error " no such file or directory "
The /mnt directory is there... and nothing is mounted.

If I do an ls in the /dev directory, there is no stand in there.

If I try mount /dev/root /mnt I get the error... cannot stat '/dev/root'

Here's the steps I took..

I ran fdisk and used UNIX for the entire drive.
I activated the partition.
I then ran divvy and created the filesystems .
If I look at the filesystems configured I get the following:

+-------------------+------------+--------+---+-------------+------------+
| Name | Type | New FS | # | First Block | Last Block |
+-------------------+------------+--------+---+-------------+------------+
| boot | EAFS | no | 0 | 0| 29999|
| swap | NON FS | no | 1 | 30000| 1602219|
| root | HTFS | no | 2 | 1602220| 5602221|
| u | HTFS | no | 3 | 5602222| 71665954|
| | NOT USED | no | 4 | -| -|
| | NOT USED | no | 5 | -| -|
| recover | NON FS | no | 6 | 71665955| 71665964|
| hd0a | WHOLE DISK | no | 7 | 0| 711673965|
+-------------------+------------+--------+---+-------------+------------+
71665965 1K blocks for divisions, 8032 1K blocks reserved for the system


As expected, df -v shows no mounted filesystems...

What's my next step?
