Argh! You've installed some 3PP bundle of ssh and it's overwritten your
mountpoints! That is /seriously/ unfriendly. Where did you get this download
from?

Use the mount command. At a minimum, you'll need to have /, /usr/bin, and
/usr/lib mountpoints all pointing into the correct places in your old dir
structure. If you had attached your cygcheck output to the mail as it
describes on the problem-reporting page, we could have given you a full list
of what mountpoints you'd need to repair.

In the cygwin user guide, and also the mount man/info pages.
