Hi,

Thanks for the reply :)
Have built busybox with make defconfig and CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_IS_ASH=y. 
Just checked in .config and CONFIG_FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT is not set so 
that looks OK. At the moment I boot the system with Grub using 'root 
(hd1,0)', 'kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.1 root=/dev/hdb1'. It all 
boots up OK and everything seems to be working OK, just can't get rid of 
these errors from mount when rebooting or shutting down. Not really sure 
where to go from here.

Cheers, Sean
