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. List / partition in /etc/fstab.
4. Add "mount -av" in /etc/rc or somewhere like that.
5. Always provide a fs name in /etc/fstab.

After rebooting, you will be fine.

That is ok since your / is ext2 which cannot be umounted when you stop
Linux.
