I think /. and VAR and USR are mounting fine. They are in another partition, but on the same disk as /home.
I will look at fstab and see if anything looks odd in there.
I think fsck is my next step.
Another oddity is my system now does not like USD keyboard and mouse.
I switched back the PS/2 variety (being a pack rat can be a good thing).
I will not get home until 6:00
Thanks
