OK. I see what you mean. Here is a copy of my fstab file:
LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0
#/dev/hda1 /dos_c ntfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 /dos_d ntfs defaults 1 1
/swap none swap sw
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
