mount of /boot partition not in /etc/fstab

2002-06-08 Thread Thomas Kral
hello there,

i use potato as a production system on my box, and i have just installed woody 
3.0p8 unofficial in a seperate partition for testing.

i switch between these two using lilo, they both have boot images in the common 
/boot partition.

thing is woody has mount /boot entry in fstab, but potato does not, yet both 
systems boot successfully.

is this all right?

thanx.

thomas

Yep. You'll just need to make sure /boot is mounted when you run lilo.
So remember to mount it before you try to install a newly-built or
-downloaded kernel!

good times,
