Public bug reported:

vmbuilder --ec2 currently has a single template for /etc/fstab which is
based on the 64-bit /etc/fstab for EC2.

The exposed disks differ between 32- and 64-bit instances and they
should have different /etc/fstab setups to match what is advertised in
the EC2 documentation:

http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/2008-08-08/DeveloperGuide/index.html
?instance-storage.html

Here is a recommended /etc/fstab for 32-bit images (small and medium EC2
instance types):

/dev/sda1 /     ext3    defaults 1 1
/dev/sda2 /mnt  ext3    defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 swap  swap    defaults 0 0
none      /proc proc    defaults 0 0
none      /sys  sysfs   defaults 0 0

Here is a recommended /etc/fstab for 64-bit images (large and xlarge EC2
instance types):

/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sdb /mnt ext3 defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defautls 0 0

The development which relates to this template is currently on the
following branch:
