I have been looking through old copies of the Handbook in the last
hour, assuming the fstab entry may have been included there at some
point. I haven't done anything like a thorough search, but I assume it
may have slipped into the handbook at some point and was later removed
(as some CVS log entries from 2004 seem to suggest).
