Comment 12 for bug 262944

Hi Saivann , some more info.
My install fails after
running scripts casper premount when I turn on splash.
I can use ls /dev/sd* to list my devices but can' t then mount any
because I get
Cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory

Am waiting for ibex 5.
Thanks
Nick
