i think mount handles some /dev/hdaX devices incorrectly.
my configuration (fdisk): 

---8<-------------------
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
   /dev/hda1               1        2550    20482843+   7  HPFS/NTFS
   /dev/hda2            2551        9729    57665317+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
   /dev/hda5            2551        7013    35849016   83  Linux
   /dev/hda6            7014        7778     6144831    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
   /dev/hda7            9628        9729      819283+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
   /dev/hda8   *        7779        9627    14852061   83  Linux
---->8------------------

hda5 is my data parition (mounted as /mnt)
hda8 is the root partition

a simple 'mount' outputs hda5 mounted as '/' but i have access to the root fs:
-->   /dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)

after 'mount /dev/hda5 /temp' i can acces the data filesystem using /temp (and 
can see all the files there):
-->   /dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw)
      /dev/hda5 on /temp type ext3 (rw)

if i 'mount /dev/hda8 /temp' i can acces the root-fs via /temp, too ...
