Hmm, I'm pretty sure I had xfsprogs installed when I started using XFS for the
root fs here, but it only came up read-only so I changed yaboot.conf. Here's
the fstab entry:

/dev/hda11	/		xfs		defaults	0	0

It's possible that I had 1 or 2 for the last digit at that time, could that
have been the problem?
