    I do not know how to do that. Here is my /etc/fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/hda8
UUID=a9c1cb61-ddfd-44f6-88b0-6dc976daf9ca /               ext3    
defaults,erro
# /dev/hda1
UUID=7915f630-518c-425b-9fea-0ef07e50d0f9 none            swap    sw
# /dev/sda2
UUID=7d8c37ed-b2ec-4008-a137-f24c6659c5ab none            swap    sw
/dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0
LABEL=f7-home       /f7home          ext3     defaults       1    2
/dev/hda9           /home            ext3     defaults       1    2

    I don't know how to change this:

UUID=a9c1cb61-ddfd-44f6-88b0-6dc976daf9ca /

Do you?
