26 That fstab line looks correct, only things coming to mind are wrong
27 filesystem type for the partition or missing localmount from the boot
28 runlevel. You can check by,
29
30 # fdisk -l /dev/sda
31
32 Look at the "Id" line, it should be "82" if I remember correctly out
33 from memory.
34
35 And,
36
37 # rc-update show |grep localmount
38
39 You should see:
40
41 localmount | boot
42
43 I don't think this will help, but I hope it does :P
