Now you got me thinking. I am trying to picture what could happen.
How would that work if fstab was still looking like the one on
/dev/sda1?
The boot would be from the mbr and point to the kernel on sda2 which
would then mount the partitions based on what was in (the current)
fstab, which should be /dev/sdb2 on / right? But if the fstab on
/dev/sda2 said mount /dev/sda1 on / then would it do so as it was
bringing up the system read/write?
Man, I never even considered the possibility that the /etc/fstab that
was on my currently mounted partition after a "normal" reboot might not
be the one that was used to mount the partitions. Could this actually
happen?
