#mount the logical partition
mkdir -p /mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00
mount /dev/hda3/VolGroup00/LogVol00
/mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00
arrakis ~ # 
arrakis ~ # ./lvm.txt 
  2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now
active
mount: special device /dev/hda3/VolGroup00/LogVol00
does not exist
       (a path prefix is not a directory)

 I think you are almost there. I believe (at least it
works on my system) that in the mount command you
don't need the "hda3"
 It should look like;
mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
/mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00

If you look in the /dev directory I believe you will
see a directory VolGroup00 with sub directories for
the logVol's.
 It took me a long while to figure out how to mount
them.That is one of the reasons why I just
reconfigured to get rid
of LVM.
