Empty fstab after install

[Jean-Jacques de Jong <jean-jacques.de-jong@gadz.org>]

Hello,

After a net install I ended up with an apparently fully operational 
system. But my fstab file contains only:
   # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM

I (normally) have / on /dev/sda2 and /boot on /dev/sda3. A "df" tells me 
that I have only /dev and /dev/shm mounted as tmpfs filesystems. I 
cannot configure grub, nor can I install a new kernel, because the /boot 
partition is not recognized. I do have a /boot directory containing 
kernel images, though (?).

Also, Grub as installed would not boot. I had to change hd(0, 0) to 
hd(0, 1) and root=/dev/hda1 to root=/dev/sda2.

Any ideas?
