"Code Listing 3: A full /etc/fstab example": /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0 There is no information about two more lines that are in fstab: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 So i commented those two lines and everything seems to work fine but it still bothers me. Which information is correct? The _full_/etc/fstab_example_ or the info from fstab? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the handbook on chapter 8. 2. Compare "A full /etc/fstab example" table with fstab extracted from stage. Actual Results: After installing my Gentoo with last two lines commented, there's no error messages during boot. Expected Results: I'm not an expert, so i don't know, but regarding info in fstab (# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!) maybe it should crash?
