First off Absolutely Don't put etc on its own partition. That is where the partition info is contained so will not work (won't mount itself because it won't know to).
Second. use the cheatcode nofstab to stop the fstab file from being rebuilt (startup as normal, edit the fstab file, edit boot file i.e. /boot/grub/menu.lst for grub, to include nofstab). The fstab that you build will be the one that is used.
No you do not need mydsl. most changes will persist (you add software and it will be perminently added). The only changes that will not persist are the ones (like fstab) that are done in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig. By the way in knoppix-autoconfig the hostname is reset to box so you will need to change that or conflics will occur with your own hostname. I made some mods to knoppix-autoconfig so the ld.so.cache and modules.dep are not done if I have the code noregen so my boot line looks like:
title DSL
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda6 quiet vga=normal nofstab dma noscsi nofirewire noagp noregen noacpi noapm
I put in the no items (like noagp) instead of nohwsetup because I find having the nohwsetup it uses alot of defaults and does not set up properly.
