If you cannot boot, how do you know these exist? Please tell us exactly

if you are really looking at the right device?)
I use a Debian CD to boot to a command prompt, then
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
# ls -l /mnt/bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1458282 Mar 16 00:03 /mnt/bin/bash
# ls -l /mnt/bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 6 09:29 /mnt/bin/sh -> bash
# ls -l /mnt/sbin/init
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28040 Jan 25 13:05 /mnt/sbin/init
# more /mnt/etc/inittab

I get no such file or directory for /mnt/bin/init and /mnt/etc/init.
# ls -l /mnt shows my system as I'd expect. It appears intact. Maybe there
is a subtle change in /etc/inittab-could someone please post theirs so I
can compare it? (I'm assuming this is the relevant file)
Please show the output of mount.
/dev/ram0 on / type ext2 (rw)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt type ext2 (rw)
Thank you for helping Oliver.
