1) set PATH=<ROOT>\Cygnus\B19\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;%PATH%
   bash
   cd /bin
   umount /
   mount -b //<ROOT> /

2) mount -b //<ROOT>/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin /bin
   mount -b //<ROOT>/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/etc /etc

3) mount -b //C /c
   mount -b //D /d
   etc.

NOTE: 
Like directory names on different volumes will _confuse_ cygwin.

Example:
mkdir -p /usr/bin
mkdir -p //D/usr/local/bin
mount -b //D/usr/local /usr/local

This scenario tends to _confuse_ cygwin.

Instead of doing the "mount -b //D/usr/local /usr/local" you should do:

cd /usr
ln -s //D/usr/local local

This scenario will work correctly with cygwin.

-------------------- IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE ------------------------
You should get the following to update your cygwinb19 package:

Sergey Okhapkin's coolview package which contains an updated 
cygwinb19.dll.  (Yes, even if you've already downloaded the b19.1 
update from the Cygnus Site).

Mumit Khan's compilation of EGCS for the cygwinb19.dll; especially if 
your using the C++ compiler.  The current version of the compiler that 
comes with the tools has lots of problems that have been fixed with 
the EGCS version.  This is a drop-in replacement for the GCC toolset.

URL's are listed above.
