Personally I like /win/c etc., but sure, I guess you could put

none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

into /etc/fstab and get /c, /d, etc.
There is a huge downside to this. I tried it. It totally broke all my projects using CVS, because /cygdrive no longer existed, and all my CVS projects used /cygdrive/f/CVSROOT as the Root

So try/use at your own risk! I think symbolic links are the way to go.

$ mount -bsf F: /cvs

then s/cygdrive\/f/cvs/ in your CVS/Root files...

Done!

Or:

$ ln -s /win /cygdrive

Done!

IOW there are other ways.
