I found the answer for the mounting problem after sending, "mount -u
/dev/rznx /", and recieved some suggestions but no new insight on the
problem. I recently tried bring the security level up to C-2 and back
down to see if some missing or corrupted file would reappear with no
luck either. One suggestion to do a clean install seemed crude but may
be the only answer. I think I'll keep looking.
Thanks to those who answered!

NT makes the easy stuff easy, and the rest impossible.
UNIX makes everything possible, but nothing too easy.
