Kippro,
The mount command should be in /bin You have either got a non standard partition scheme when /bin is not on the root partition or you have a lot of things missing that come with mount.
How did you partition your drive and what stage tarball did you use?

I used stage tarball 2 and my fstab looks like this:
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 default,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
I'm using vmware 4.5 (WinXP) |

Kippro,
Your filesystem layout is fine and mount was in your tarball, that leaves VMWare and its quirks.
I'm out of my depth there and know it.

andrewf, Kippro
Copy /bin/mount from the liveCD but it worries me you have lots of other things missing too.

Sounds like they need to do an emerge -e system. |

kimchi_sg,
Hmm - but one of them was a stage 2. emerge system is already done.
