Hi,

create /mnt/hda1 mean :
you have to make a directory called /mnt/hda1 by using "mkdir /mnt/hda1" but is seem to be done cause it answer you "file exist". If you want to be sure that's a directoy, use "ls -l /mnt/hda1" in the answer verifiy the line begin with a "d". This is the mount point.
After this you have to mount your disk on the mount point, like this :
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
Test it, if OK I'll explain you how to modifiy /etc/fstab

Bye

Use this setup proceedure instead:
http://forum.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=7612

Use this up to the point where you would begin installing VMWare tools. Using this method, you still haven't set up your swap drive, so add this command:

mkswap -c /dev/hda2

Your system should now boot properly. After you have booted up your system, enter:

swapon -a

You should now be setup and ready to go.
