I already tried mount as you mention. It basically looks exactly like
/etc/mtab...

/dev/hdb6 on / type auto (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/hdb1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)

Oddly, the dmesg command returns nothing. I think that's 'cause iptables
has filled it up... 'cat /var/log/dmesg' does show this though:

kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.

and

EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.15, 06 Nov 2001 on ide0(3,70), internal journal

and 

kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.15, 06 Nov 2001 on ide0(3,65), internal journal
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

'df -T' shows auto for one and ext3 for the other... :-)

cat /proc/mounts is more useful though and it looks good ! It says:

/dev/root / ext3 rw 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0

That's what I wanted to see. Thanks to all for the ideas and help !!
