What probably happened was you changed the numbers (/dev/hda6 becomes
/dev/hda5 or somesuch). After the kernel boots, it mounts stuff out of
/etc/fstab, which will contain the old numbers. Just make sure that after
you edit partition tables, your listing in /etc/fstab agrees with the
partition table.
