You can't mount a directory on top of an already mount directory.  Is /dev/hda3
already mounted for something?  Or is it just a blank unmounted ext2 partition
only used for xcdroast?  Is /dev/hda3 already mounted as /tmp in /etc/fstab? If
not and you want to use that partion for xcdroast you must mount it to something
other than /tmp becuase that is mounted when / is mounted.  Type 'md /xcdroast'
as root and use that as your mount point in xcdroast.  Or dont use a partition
for xcdroast at all, use a directory.  I have a directory /share/xcdroast setup
and that is what I use.  No need for the mount and unmount business.
