[CS-FSLUG] help with Libranet boot problem

[R. Thompson]

Thanks Jukka!,

	I'm heading back to work and I'll take a look at the /etc/fstab file. 
I know that the system does have grub, which I haven't had any
experience with.  There is something else called xvmount, and I've set
it to mount everything without permissions, but it didn't seem to help.
