17 You're close with suspecting that it's an fstab issue, but the issue is
18 actually that you haven't defined your root partition in the fstab. This
19 is set to a nonsense value of "/dev/ROOT" by default and it must be
20 changed before running yabootconfig. With the default partition layout
21 shown in the handbook, the root partition line would be changed to say
22 "/dev/hda3".
