Just remove the /mnt/gentoo part from each (you do mount them there during the install process, but it's not their final location). The two numbers at the end should be '0 1' for the partition mounted at /, all other disk partitions get '0 2'. Mounts that are not real disk partitions (/proc, tmpfs, swap, etc) are 0. See 'man 5 fstab' for deatils. The first digit relates to a very old piece of software (dump/restore) that is effectively obsolete. alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
