Thanks a BUNCH. That's what it was (the /etc partition...duh...).
But now, when booting up, sendmail hangs and seems to wait a good 3
minutes...
I don't remember it doing this last time. What's up with this?
Your help is very much appreciated folks, even if I don't say it often...

You're dead. If this install is new and contains no important data, you
should probably reinstall. If you have something you want to save, or are
feeling adventurous, you might try booting the rescue disk to see if you
can figure out where it went.
It might be caused if you told the installer to put /etc on a separate
partition from /. Other than disk errors, I can't immediately think of
anything besides that which would cause this on a new system.
The /etc/inittab file contains information about the system "runlevels",
which determines what programs should run at startup. Without it your
system cannot boot as it wouldn't know what programs to run at startup. :)
