In other words, the last two lines should not look like:

> /dos            /dev/hda5       vfat    user                    0       0
> /win            /dev/hda1       vfat    user                    0       0

but rather as:

> /dev/hda5    /dos       vfat    user                    0       0
> /dev/hda1    /win       vfat    user                    0       0
