/dev/sda3 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
No problems at all.
