Sample /etc/fstab file that may help you better understand what I'm
getting at (if you are even confused about it):

--------------------------------------------------
/dev/hda2 swap      swap      defaults       0 0
/dev/sda1 swap      swap      defaults       0 0

/dev/hda3 /         reiserfs  defaults       1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot     ext2      defaults       1 1
/dev/hda5 /home     reiserfs  defaults       1 1
/dev/hda6 /opt      reiserfs  defaults       1 1
/dev/hda7 /usr      reiserfs  defaults       1 1
/dev/hda8 /mnt/save reiserfs  defaults       1 1

/dev/scd1 /mnt/graveur       auto      noauto,user,ro 1 1
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom         auto      noauto,user,ro 1 1
/dev/fd0  /mnt/floppy        auto      noauto,user    0 0

none      /dev/pts           devpts    gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none      /proc              proc      defaults       0 0
none      /proc/bus/usb      usbdevfs  defaults       0 0
-----------------------------------------------------

Note: I just found this on the web.  It has no relation to my, or likely
anyone else's, BL system (usb and reiserfs are pretty much out of the
question for BL2).  BL fstab files will typically be far less
complex, with maybe only 3 or 4 entries.  Relevant entries from this
sample for you will be the "swap" entries - most likely the /dev/hda2
one, unless you have a scsi hard drive.  Hope this helps further.
