Yes it still can't be right as described. /etc/fstab is not available during initrd-time either, no filesystems are except the one from the initrd. Stuff only gets mounted according to /etc/fstab during the initscripts. In short before it mounts / (containing /etc/fstab and /etc/blkid/blkid.tab) it can't even discover that we didn't follow this rule, therefore it can't interfere with mounting /. But I'm sure you are right it can mess other things up if you don't take care to follow whatever it is important for (maybe tracking USB sticks or somesuch, fom looking at mine?). -Andy
