fstab problems
Ladies & Gentlemen, I'm back at the trough. Appreciate any and all help. I was monkeying around with the /etc/fstab on hdb1 and buggered it up and need help. Following The Llama's advice I had purchased Running Linux 3rd Ed. and am able to get at the file, but can't seem to get it right. Here is a copy of the file I have on hdb3; devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0 */dev/hdb3 / ext2 defaults 1 3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat ro 0 0 */dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ext2 defaults 1 0 Would exchanging the *'d lines make it work? I thought I'd done that, but it didn't seem to work. I saved it in emacs with C-x C-s. The reason I think it is the fstab file is on bootup the Fail's and when it gets to it freezes. By the way I have to start the hdb3 with a rescue floppy. So/Or could the be the buggered one? Thanks, again.

Friedman Because I had to use the File Manager (Super User), but when I just looked it's just /boot. Sorry.

Re: StepXStep CD BURNERS-IDE
My local Windoze guru says you get a better copy from CDRW to hd? and back to CDRW. Correct or incorrect? Bob Hemus ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

It goes thru stage 1-2 loads kernel, boots kernel, then up in the right hand corner in the "colors" it says kernel panic. press any key to continue goes back to .

StepXStep CD BURNERS-IDE
Tn the step by steps to install a CDROM RW in step 2 it says you add "hd?=ide-scsi to the kernel line in your menu.lst file." then reboot. When I do this it won't reboot. Need to use the rescue disk. Is the file I need to work on in /root/boot/grub/menu.lst? If so, what have I done, am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
