Hi folks. If I have the following line (below, line-wrapped single line) in my /etc/fstab my machine hangs during bootup at the fsck stage complaining that VFAT checking is still ALPHA. There is no HDD activity. If I boot in rescue mode and remove the line the box boots fine. What do I need to do to the line so I can leave it it and still have the machine boot. I've tried 'nocheck' and 'check=no' as possible options.
