I'm at my sister's house, and I managed to fix the disaster involving menu.lst, but now when I start I get a very brief message telling something like "one or more filesystems in fstab cannot yet be mounted" then something about "swap" and "usbfs". The genius program that is giving the message does not repeat it in any file under /var/log. Indeed, the swap partition is not mounted, and if I manually swapon, it is. Here's the fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

# /dev/sda1

/dev/sda2 /mnt/c ntfs locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
I've read about other problems people are having, and they are about a system that is totally broken and won't start up. I can start up, but these two filesystems just aren't mounting. I've tried
sudo update-grub
and
dpkg --configure -a
and none of these work. I'm scared to leave this computer w/out the swap automatically coming on, and I don't know what damage an absent usb fs does.
