I have a fairly serious problem, which I can't seem to correct.  I have
four cubes, of which they are getting along pretty well, until yesterday.

On one of the machines (all with hard drives), I wanted to create an 
entry in the fstab (netinfo fstab) for the optical drive, so I did.  
For one reason or another, I changed my mind, and took it out of the
database using NetInfo, along with another mount that was obsolete.  The
only problem is, that after I rebooted the machine, it no longer wants
to mount anything, even it's own disk.  Hence, df returns with just the 
headers, /etc/mtab is empty, etc.  

All the other machines still appear normal, mounting and unmounting at will,
including the "dead" machine's filespace.  Note that while /dev/sd0a is not
mounted, the machine still finds all the local filespace with no problem.

This is obviously a major problem, but I'm not even sure where to explore
next to try to find an answer.
