RTU 3.0 is somewhat different from RTU 2.2A. Some changes are unnoticed
by most users. Sometimes, Masscomp points up these changes in the release
notes and othertimes, you have to find it out for yourself.

One of these changes is in the use of /etc/fstab in place of /etc/checklist.

Under RTU 2.2A, you placed a list of all the disk devices you wanted 
/etc/fsck to check on boot in /etc/checklist. This would cause all filesystems
to be check following a crash (A GOOD thing to do!). Now, to get this
to occur under 3.0, you must do a similiar thing in /etc/fstab. It is not
quite the same format, but the format is covered in FSTAB(5) in the 
manual.

Unfortunately, the system management guide(s) do not discuss this at all.
