Backtrack 3 doesn't mount any of my non-root devices (other hard drive partitions or my flash drive) when it boots or if I try it manually. When I try manually it says

bt ~ # mount /dev/sdb1
mount: mount point /mnt/sdb1 does not exist
FIXED: I unplugged and plugged it into a different port and it works.

And this is what I get when I try to mount my Windows partition.
bt ~ # mount /dev/sda2
fuse: failed to access mountpoint /mnt/sda2: No such file or directory
FUSE mount point creation failed
Unmounting /dev/sda2 (SQ004244V07)

Is this a bug or did I make a n00b mistake?

Try the following commands. First lets actually create the mountpoint:
mkdir /mnt/sda2
Now lets try to mount the drive to this point:
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2

*Face-palm*
Two seconds of creative thinking would have basically solved this, I feel stupid.

I can see how confusing it must be when common features/install/configurations are
not included, I believe that there is a very good reason or reasons.

My personal guess would be, "wax on", what now master, "was off."
