[gNewSense-users] Trying to re-build fstab to read usb port drives

[Adrian van Egmond]

Recently, I wiped out my fstab using chmod 666 command on /dev and
/media while making a liveusb. Idiotic, I know! I can get the usb to
recognize but not much more. Perhaps someone can see the problem?

Here is some info:
