Howdy Matt,

You can login as user ROOT, or you can run the 'su' program from the 
bash$ like this:

bash-2.01$ su root rootpassword

su works like this:  su username userpassword, on my system, use the su 
command like this:

bash-2.01$ su root root

This logs you in as user root. After you have gotten the mount 
successful, exit and return to normal user mode by typing 'exit' from 
the bash$

Hope this helps,

Brant
