It has to be booting from somewhere else other than /boot/grub/menu.lst.
However where that is ,is a mystery.
my etc/fstab:

devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sr0 /dvd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/sr1 /cdburn iso9660 ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda /carddisk msdos ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0
none /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0
/dev/hda15 / ext3 defaults 1 1

/dev/hda9 /boot ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda13 /video ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda7 /build ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc5 /backup ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda12 /photos ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda10 /cdimage ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 vfat rw,defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat rw,defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

What is /dev/shm anyway?
Other than that I have two folders in / that I am unsure of /auto is 
suposedly empty and I cannot delete it. I also have a /tftpboot which has a 
depth of folers but does not seem to have a boot in it.
