Yes, yes, yes.  It has already downloaded the necessary F13 packages,
and the installer can't find my root partition to mount.  I was hoping
someone could tell me *what* it was looking for that it couldn't find,
and what I could do to help it find it....  All it needs to do is mount
the necessary partitions and then start the installations.  Somewhere
there is a script or program that would logically be the next step(s), I
was hoping someone could point them out to me....

I suppose I could just mount them by hand at that point, and to the RPM
updates by hand....  I was hoping for a more automated process that
would work.
