Hi all,

During booting I get the following message:

Quote

[mntent]: line 3 in /etc/fstab is bad
[mntent]: line 4 in /etc/fstab is bad

The content of my /etc/fstab is:

Code Sample

/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/auto/floppy auto vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom auto iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# partitions found by dsl
#/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=50 0 0
#/dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#/dev/hdg /mnt/hdg iso9660 noauto,users,exec 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=1001,gid=50 0 0

Anyone seeing what's wrong here?

Help & advice are appreciated!

In lines 3 and 4, I'm guessing you can take out "vfat" and "iso9660" maybe.

Yep, one directive too much... Overlooked it and still wondering how it got there.
So thanks!
But...
alas I still get the following error when trying to mount /dev/fd0 using the mounttool:

Quote

mount: can't find /dev/fd0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

/dev/fd0 is in /etc/fstab but not in /etc/mtab. Should it be in both?

I think mtab contains the ones currently mounted - similar to just running `mount`.

Can you mount it manually?
i.e. # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/auto/floppy
