[olug] *urgent* Suse 9.1 pro boot issue (md related?)

Good thought!  Could somebody post their fstab for the basic partitions. 
I can't seem to find any glaring errors in mine.

my fstab first line:
/dev/system/root   /   reiserfs   acl,user_xattr   1 1

Is it possible that it can't find /dev/system/root because initrd got
messed up and isn't loading the device mapper modules?

Thanks
