Howdy,

I have three hard disks on the computer on which I'm installing LFS stuff:

/dev/sda        Has Fedora installed.
/dev/sdb        Has Debian installed.
/dev/sdc        Has LFS installed.

The LFS software works fine -- I have Net connectivity and got Seamonkey 
installed last night. To boot LFS I have to set the Bios to boot from /dev/sdc 
and so forth.

However, I want to access the Fedora and Debian filesystems from LFS, and so, 
in addition to the normal stuff in /etc/fstab, I have these two lines at the 
very end (I'm writing this from work and can't remember exactly what's in the 
file):

/dev/sda /fedora ext4 defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb /debian ext3 defaults 0 0

One more complication: On bootup, the system complains that I've exceeded the 
limit of number of mounts. So I comment out either of the above two lines, and 
then I don't get the "limit exceeded" message but rather a "limit reached" 
message.

Anyway, if I keep only the /debian line, it gets mounted properly and I can get 
to that filesystem. But if I keep only the /fedora line, it does not get 
mounted and I see a "FAIL" message something like "cannot mount /fedora; does 
not exist".

I've tried several variations like using "/mnt/fedora" instead "/fedora" with 
no success.

Can anyone shed light on what's going on?

One more thing: I've found several minor bugs in the BLFS instructions. Where 
is the proper place to report these bugs?

Alan
