Hi Paul,
Where do I make those changes to what type of device is mounted ? To test,
do I just issue the mnt command you described in a console, or does the
entries in fstab (or somewhere else) have to be updated ?
And I'm pretty sure I have no Teles card (whatever that is ! ) - that could
explain the failure :-) - not sure why/how all those entries are in boot.
thx,
phil
