During bootup, the following messages appear: "One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab/ cannot yet be moounted. ESC for recovery shell; SWAP: waiting for UUID=f50ec5db-f7a5-484c-94d3-66ab70c26155." With the exception of a few times, bootup continued and the desktop came up ok.
During those exceptions there was a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left-hand corner. When I chose to hit the ESC key, I could get to the terminal in recovery mode, but I didn't know what to do next. Most of the time I'd walk away from the keyboard and make a sandwich. Several times I just kept rebooting--there didn't seem to be any other choice--and eventually, by some automagic process I continue to marvel at but in no way understand, the desktop came up and happiness ensued.
Here's the contents of the fstab file:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda3 :
UUID=90400e97-1e1a-43b3-b2e2-044266e62629 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# Entry for /dev/sda4 :

# Entry for /dev/ !! UNKNOW DEVICE !! :

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
So, my swap partition is unknown? What's the next step?
Thanks,
