I checked the default Fstab which came with Stage 3 |
| 11 |
& there's no sign of it, so I deleted it, rebooted & everything works. |
| 12 |
There were also these lines : |
| 13 |
# >= glibc 2.2 expect tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm |
| 14 |
# for POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). |
| 15 |
# tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk |
| 16 |
# and will use almost no memory if not populated with files. |
| 17 |
# Adding the following line should take care of this: |
| 18 |
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
| 19 |
I deleted them too & it seems to have had no effect. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
However, I was amused to see that the Stage 3 Fstab does have the line : |
| 22 |
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 |
| 23 |
Does anyone still use diskettes ? Today's mobos have no slot for them. |
