    Hi folks.

    If I have the following line (below, line-wrapped single line) in my
    /etc/fstab my machine hangs during bootup at the fsck stage complaining
    that VFAT checking is still ALPHA. There is no HDD activity.

    If I boot in rescue mode and remove the line the box boots fine.

    What do I need to do to the line so I can leave it it and still have the
    machine boot. I've tried 'nocheck' and 'check=no' as possible options.

    Gary

    /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos vfat
    umask=0222,uid=500,gid=500 1 1
