hi!

you don't have to change your fstab, there should everything ok with you
fstab.

you should change the root= entry in your grub configuration to your
actual root partition. if you don't know what partition your root is on,
do a 'df' and look where '/' is mounted on.

the second line of df output should read somewhat similar to:
/dev/sda2 4806936 1611232 2951516 36% /

that's my fileserver where /dev/sda2 is mounted as '/'.

your root= in grub config should read somewhat like this:
root=/dev/hda1)
