This partition as well as the ones that mount without specifying -t
reiserfs do not appear in fstab. Only my / partition is there, as I only
mount /boot when needed, and I only mount other / & /boot sets when
running Lilo.
BTW, I forgot to add, run Lilo, in the sequence above.
The only difference I can detect is that none of the other partitions used
to be a swap partition.
