Subject: Can an EXT fs be the root fs?

can the extended filesystem be used on the root partition?

Ive been fidling with this for several hours now and cant seem to make
it work.. I end up getting

magic match failed
kernal panic

and then a lockup, or something real close to that. I tried editing the
fstab table, but after I thought about it I dont think that sould help
anyway as it would have to have mounted the partion in order to read my
edited file.
