Just noticed:-

> /dev/sda2     none   wap            sw                      0 0

it's supposed to be 'swap' not 'wap'. That could be triggering this problem.
Also it just could be that the white space is supposed to have TABs to 
delineate the columns. ( as well as making things much easier to read )
It's also worth knowing a thing or two about the zeros at the end of the 
lines.

man 5 fstab
man 8 mount

explain very well so I won't re-expound here.
