I'm sure, here is my backup fstab from this system:

/dev/sda2	        /boot	        ext2	        noauto,noatime	1 2
/dev/sda3                none           swap            sw              0 0
/dev/sda4		/		ext4		noatime		0 1
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom      auto            noauto,user     0 0

Sometimes the system boot but most of the time it doesn't.  So I was
trying to "bootstrap" it to clean up some files.
