try this instead: s/ext2/ext3,ext2/

This means that the kernel will attempt to mount it as ext3, and if that
doesn't work it'll try ext2. That means that if you later try to boot
with a non-ext3-aware kernel you won't have to change anything: it'll
still boot just fine, only without journaling.

good times,
