	What exactly is the problem? Do you have a 15 MB /boot
partition as is advised?

	mkdir /blah

	mount -t ntfs /dev/hda* /blah

	If there is a problem with this, recompile the kernel with
NTFS support. Its Read-Only, IIRC.

	The Stock RH kernel *does* infact have NTFS support, AFAIK.

	You probably want to do many other things like follow RH
convention with /mnt/blah .. but *personally* I prefer /blah to
anything else. Infact, if you notice, /mnt will have certain special
permissions, which you really shouldn't be messing with.
