Could be /etc/rc.d/rc.S (probably not on Red Hat - this is the place for
Slackware). Read the file very carefully and don't screw up in there - it
will lock the boot process. Keep a rescue floppy handy.
Also rtfm mount, fstab, esp. vs. mount -a .

You can't mount it if it is mounted. You can't umount it if it used.
Reformulate the question starting from these known facts.
