Hmmmm, maybe during the installation proccess, the guy gave the installation
program request to mount /dev/hda2 on /dev/hda2... 'cause there is such a
window in the RH4.0 installation... After a second thinking - this is defenately
the problem. (since the RH installation program makes the fstab according
to this information... apparentaly without any checking for those sorts of
problems)
