Here's how I use dir *in the abstract* for drives C: and D:. (Note: the
/a: option of dir lists all files, including hidden ones; /o:n sorts by

It look like those links are created by /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh.
You could try just removing /etc/hosts, /etc/protocols, /etc/services, and
/etc/networks, being careful to delete the symlink and not the target, and
then re-run /etc/postinstall/base-files-mk
will
be /cygdrive/d/dir, not /d/DIR. YMMV.
But pre-creating c:\cygwin\etc\fstab seems like the best option.
Good Luck.
