Here goes - pasted from ssh client - hope decipherable:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
I've never been any good on understanding how devices are mounted. The
second disk is /dev/hdb. Is it as simple as editing the fstab file
appropriately?
Cheers
