Blatant FAQ about mount points

I'm sorry, but I've read the entire FAQ and I still don't understand how
to mount my root filesystem in binary mode.
This is what I'm doing:
--------
C:\>mount
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
C:\>umount /
C:\>mount
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
C:\>umount C:
C:\>mount
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
C:\>umount C:/
C:\>mount
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary
C:\>umount C:\
C:\>mount
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\tape1: /dev/st1 native text!=binary
\\.\tape0: /dev/st0 native text!=binary
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 native text!=binary
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 native text!=binary
C: / native text!=binary

I just can't unmount the C: drive - and that means I get "device or
resource busy" when I try to mount it in binary mode.
I've looked at the registry with a view to changing the mount points by
hand, but they appear in several different places, and always under
"b15.0".
Am I missing something here?
(I'm using B19.1, plus coolview. Everything works fine, apart from
those things that don't like text!=binary.)
