I was monkeying around with the /etc/fstab on hdb1 and buggered it up
and need help. Following The Llama's advice I had purchased Running
Linux 3rd Ed. and am able to get at the file, but can't seem to get it
right. Here is a copy of the file I have on hdb3;
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
*/dev/hdb3 / ext2 defaults 1 3
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat ro 0 0
*/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ext2 defaults 1 0
Would exchanging the *'d lines make it work? I thought I'd done that,
but it didn't seem to work. I saved it in emacs with C-x C-s. The
reason I think it is the fstab file is on bootup the Checking file
systems Fail's and when it gets to System loggers it freezes. By
the
way I have to start the hdb3 with a rescue floppy. So/Or could the
/bootgrub/menu.lst be the buggered one?
Your problem is a bad fsck, not anything related to /etc/fstab or GRUB.
If checking the filesystem fails, then you need to run a manual fsck
against each unmounted or read-only ext2 partition.
I have no clue what /mnt/hdb1 is supposed to be, but its certainly not a
standard mountpoint. What did fstab look like before you started
touching it?
