Comment 2 Brock Organ 2000-12-21 19:35:37 UTC
There is an update disk that should fix this. Download it, gzip it, dd (or
 rawrite) it to a floppy disk. When you boot into the install, specify "linux
 updates" at the boot prompt. The install will prompt you to install this floppy
 when it needs it.

 ftp://people.redhat.com/ewt/mountupd.img.gz

 It should fix this problem. Please reopen this bug if it doesn't.

Comment 3 Paul A. Valente 2000-12-21 20:56:20 UTC
The file to correct the problem is a little bit too large to fit on a 1.4M floppy.  My 1.4M floppy formats out to 1,457,664 bytes and that correction file is 
1,474,560 bytes.
