19 That advice is wrong. See fstab example here:
20
21 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noatime 1 2
22 /dev/sda2 / xfs noatime 0 1
23 /dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
24 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0

26 To the OP. Never <snip> part of a file asked for help. There might be
27 something in the file unknown to you that is pertinent to the problem.
28
29 You have "default" in your /etc/fstab line for /boot, when the option is
30 actually "defaults". I haven't tested to see what difference that makes, but
31 you should add the s to default anyway. See "man mount".
