I have a problem with my /etc/fstab and the system cannot boot.
I copied a fstab file from another machine, but I fogot that the file
system of the root volume on that machine is ext3 but the one I have
is XFS, so the system cannot boot anymore.
Luckily I have a LiveCD and I boot the LiveCD system and change the
fstab:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 / xfs defaults,errors=remount-ro
0 1
/dev/hda8 /boot ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hda9 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
seems a bit odd that you don't have /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2 being used
for something. Did the live cd detect the above?
hda1 & hda2 might be used by Windows.
but the system can only boot to runlevel 2, and the message said that
the '/' is not mounted yet (wrong option).
So, how can I write a correct fstab?
The system booted to runlevel 2 without a root filesystem? How?
Anyway, runlevel 2 is the Debian default, so _only_ booting to runlevel
2 isn't a bad thing unless you've specified otherwise....
It's my impression that he booted using the LiveCD.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
