Is this what you want?
mkfs -t e2fs /dev/sda5
mount -t e2fs /dev/sda5 /any/mount/point
--- rod.

Does your specified mountpoint actually exist? If no, then create it.

Can you please post the full output, including your commandline for mkfs? Also the full ouptut of
fdisk -l /dev/sda
Please explain exactly what is the difference in behavior between before/after reboot. The formatting of a disk should not change on rebooting. You aren't telling us everything here...
