[issue383] grml-rebuildfstab fails (probably because of funny partition order)

[Wernfried Haas]

New submission from Wernfried Haas <amne at gentoo.org>:

After booting i noticed some partitions were missing their mount points in /mnt.
Ran grml-rebuildfstab again without success: 

root at grml ~ # grml-rebuildfstab
Scanning for new harddisks/partitions/devices.
Adding 7 new partitions to /etc/fstab.
Clean up /mnt/* directories as defined in
/mnt/.grml-auto-created_do-not-delete-this-file.
Creating directories in /mnt/... based on /etc/fstab entries.
root at grml ~ # ls /mnt

As you can see, fdisk's output is a bit mixed up (hda3) shows up at the end.
This may have something to do with it.

Will boot the CD on a box with a normal partition layout to confirm it's not a
general bug.
