fstab is accessed soon after the execution of /sbin/rc

both entries under most conditions need to be consistant. There is no 
automatic detection from the grub kernel args.

Just for example my /etc/fstab (using devfs - replace with /dev/hd[a-z][1-8] 
as desired).

/dev/discs/disc0/part1  /boot      ext2            noauto,noatime          1 1
/dev/discs/disc0/part5  /            ext2            noatime         0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part6  /home     ext2            noatime         0 0

#/dev/SWAP              none            swap            sw              0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro,user  0 0
none              /proc           proc            defaults                0 0
none           /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults                0 0


I'm also thinking its a fstab issue. I still could be wrong.
