Gidday, Sometimes, during the rare reboots I do on my RH9 box, the startup process hangs at the 'mounting SMB filesystems' part. Is there any way of setting a timout in the FSTAB file (or anywhere else) so it only tries to mount an SMB share for a few seconds? Or is there a way of 'escaping' this part during boot if it hangs? The only fix I have found (i.e. Zane told me) so far is to boot off a floppy, and comment out all the SMB mount lines in my FSTAB file, then remount once the system has booted correctly.
