That's what linuxrc usually does...

If it's already mounted, it's because the linuxrc has mounted
it... I've been over this code in the kernel a few times recently, and
if I recall correctly, if you have initrd support compiled in, the
kernel relies on the initrd (which means the linuxrc) for mounting the
root FS. Can you show your linuxrc as Oleg suggested?
