Hi James,

how many IDE channels does your machine have? To me, '3rd IDE master' sounds 
like 'master drive on the third IDE channel', which would actually make 
it /dev/hde.

But if you (more likely) have 2 IDE channels, primary and secondary, and your 
CD/DVD drive is third drive out of a possible 4 (ie. secondary IDE master), 
then you should change your /etc/fstab to make it /dev/hdc.
