I'd buy that theory if the directories at root where soft links or hard
links to the /mnt/xxxx directories, but they are not. Watch this:
[root at pepewin ~]# cd /
[root at pepewin /]# ls -al

/boot, /var and /home are at their proper mount points
Therefore, what are the /mnt/xxxx versions about? right now they do not have
anything
[root at pepewin /]# ls /boot
