I added the following line manually to the /etc/mtab file :
/dev/hdc2 /var ext2 rw 0 0

When I restart with a boot-floppy distribution (tomsrtbt).
I typed fsck.ext2 /dev/hdc2 on the prompt there. And I got the message
that the drive is clean.

When I restart my PC and I start the debian distribution.
I got on startup :
...
/dev/hdc2 on /var type ext2 (rw)
...
Parallelizing fsck version 1.15 (18 Jul 1999)
/dev/hdc2 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced
/dev/hdc2 555/26208 files (13.0% non-contiguous), 6862/104422 blocks

After loggin in and doing "df", the /var filesystems still doesn't
appear.

I really have no idea what the problem might be ...

Kind Regards,
