thanks for submitting the bug on that paul - didn't mean to farm out
responsibility for it - I've been away from this stuff for a while and was
willing to believe it was user error somehow (it usually is with me).

sorry - should have been more clear - these are my modifications to the
fstab included in the sep 18 image, since it looked like that one was set
up for a reflashed system (and I am running off of CF).  May have been
unnecessary, but if so, my understanding of fstab is worse than I thought.

I also had to add a labrun file too (and copy over some apps I like.... etc
:P)

thanks for the reply - I have retrieved my serial cable and so hopefully
can boot tonight.

Rgds,
