That advice is wrong. See fstab example here:

/dev/sda1		/boot		ext2		noatime		1 2
/dev/sda2		/		xfs		noatime		0 1
/dev/sda3		none		swap		sw		0 0
/dev/cdrom		/mnt/cdrom	auto		noauto,ro	0 0

To the OP. Never <snip> part of a file asked for help. There might be
something in the file unknown to you that is pertinent to the problem.

You have "default" in your /etc/fstab line for /boot, when the option is
actually "defaults". I haven't tested to see what difference that makes, but
you should add the s to default anyway. See "man mount".

Cheers,

Bruce
