I've managed to get into my main Linux partition through the boot disk,
and changed the necessary entries in fstab.  Now Linux boots fine
normally again.  However -- have you noticed there's always a 'however'?
-- in the bootup, I get an error message regarding my new partition,
hdc8, saying it's not a proper ext2 filesystem.  I've got it listed as
such in fstab:

/dev/hdc8     /brian1       ext2      defaults    1     1

My other Linux partitions are:

/dev/hdc6        /        ext      defaults      1      1
/dev/hdc7       swap      swap     defaults      1      1

Notice I've got hdc8 set up as brian1.  This is just to give it a name.
However, I have no files whatsoever on that partition yet.  I don't even
know how to see it, let alone put files on it.  So, how do I get the
correct fs set up on it?  Sorry for all the questions, but I can't seem
to find the correct How To to answer these questions.  Still searching
though!  ;-)  Thanks.

Brian
