No changes to /etc/fstab should be required (as compared to installing into the root of the filesystem). I've successfully booted even a Gentoo system with its standard boot scripts via pre-init without doing special stuff with fstab. > Not very surprisingly, > > /dev/hda7 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 > > does not work. Please be more specific. What is happening when you boot. What messages are you getting, especially what are the last messages you get. Why do you think /etc/fstab is your problem? Do you have a /home/dev/console ? If not (meaning you get the kernel message "Unable to open initial console"), you should create one mkdir /home/dev cp -a /dev/console /home/dev That will allow you to see error messages from pre-init (if any).
