Ok, I've got the new gig partition set up for Linux. Since that gig was
originally my Dos "F" drive, and was automatically mounted when Linux started,
I know that I have to now go into fstab and manually change it. Problem is,
when Linux now boots up, it tries to mount this DOS partition. Thus, I am
unable to get into Linux to change the fstab file. When it boots, the error
message I get is this:
Kernal panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 16:07
Any ideas on how to correct this? When I use the boot/root disk that got
created when I first installed Linux, the fstab file doesn't show any mounted
partitions. So the file on the floppy is different from the one on the HD.
