Hmm...no, I'm not booting from a ramdisk. The only ramdisk involved is to
initialize my scsi adapter and I've already successfully install the
journal on my scsi drive's partition.
My root filesystem is on hda3, which is just my first bootable
drive. There should be no ramdisk involved with that.
I thought about what you suggest, just putting things in fstab, but then I
fear not being able to boot.
