I checked the default Fstab which came with Stage 3
& there's no sign of it, so I deleted it, rebooted & everything works.
There were also these lines :
  # >= glibc 2.2 expect tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm
  # for POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
  # tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk
  # and will use almost no memory if not populated with files.
  # Adding the following line should take care of this:
  none   /dev/shm   tmpfs   defaults   0 0
I deleted them too & it seems to have had no effect.

However, I was amused to see that the Stage 3 Fstab does have the line :
  /dev/fd0    /mnt/floppy   auto   noauto   0 0
Does anyone still use diskettes ?  Today's mobos have no slot for them.
