This fstab entry indeed isn't correct. But I suspect this error is
caused
because /dev/hda2 is a directory instead of being a block device inode.
What does "ls -l /dev/hda2" give? Try running "/dev/MAKEDEV hda" (from
/dev) if /dev/hda2 looks strange (e.g. differs from /dev/hda1 in more
fields than just the minor device number).
