Can't remove erroneous mount...


By accident, I just ran the command

  mount -s -f -b / c:

(I got the two arguments reversed).

Unfortunately, there is no way to unmount this now I've created it. For
example,

c:\>umount --remove-system-mounts
umount: c:: Invalid argument

c:\>umount c:
umount: c:: Invalid argument

c:\>mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
c:\usr\local        /usr/local          user         binmode
\\.\tape0:          /dev/st0            user         textmode
\\.\tape1:          /dev/st1            user         textmode
\\.\a:              /dev/fd0            user         textmode
\\.\b:              /dev/fd1            user         textmode
\                   c:                  system       binmode

How can I get rid of the last mount listed?

Thanks.

Richard Stanton
