Well, *if* a line with /dev/root is present in /etc/fstab, the system |
| 20 |
does not boot up properly (tested it right now). |
| 21 |
I always though such a line in /etc/fstab is needed so that fsck is run |
| 22 |
on the root filesystem... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Removing the line completely boots up fine, but the filesystem has not |
| 25 |
been fscked on boot. |
