Don't tell me you don't know. I have warned you in c.o.l. Please dig
out my old article. I may miss something here.
1. Get Rick Sladkey's mount 0.99.6. It is in mount-0.99.6.tar.Z and
utile-1.4.src.tar.z from sunsite or tsx-11.
2. Remove any
rdev > /dev/mtab
from /etc/rc.
3. always provide a fs name in /etc/fstab.
After rebooting, you will be fine.
