Hi ya! I'm a old linux desktop user but it's my first time installing gentoo on my hardware and I have never set up things manually.

I've already read about fstab on: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html but I've got some lil' questions:

-question1: I hadn't partitionated /boot separately (supposed to everything be on /) I need to set up fstab to mount it? (I think not)
Code:

like that? I can do it? Is it possible?
/dev/sda1 /boot reiserfs auto,noatime,notail 0 1
/dev/sda1 / reiserfs auto,noatime,notail 0 1
???


-info:
Code:

  /dev/sda1 Boot Primary Linux ReiserFS
  /dev/sda2 Primary Linux swap
  /dev/sda3 Primary Linux ext3
  /dev/sda5 Logical Linux ReiserFS
  /dev/sda6 Logical Linux ReiserFS
  /dev/sda7 Logical Linux ext3


-question2: is it good ?
Code:

 /dev/sda1 / reiserfs auto,noatime,notail 0 1
 /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
 /dev/sda3 /vmware ext3 auto,noatime,notail 0 0
 /dev/sda5 /tmp reiserfs notail,noatime,nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
 /dev/sda6 /www reiserfs auto,noatime,notail,noexec 0 0
 /dev/sda7 /media ext3 auto,noatime,notail,noexec 0 0
 /dev/cdroms /cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
 none /proc proc defaults 0 0
 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0


thanks in advance.

Doesn't look bad (no comment on the part sizes because I don't know the intentions for setting it up like this.

The only thing I see @ moment is that the "noexec" statement may break some exotic scripts in rare occasions but the advantage is almost any script kiddie attack will fail.
And don't forget /dev/shm.
Mine looks like that to give you an example:
Code:

# <fs>                  <mountpoint>            <type>          <opts>                                  <dump/pass>

# Local FS that span an entire device
/dev/hda1               /mnt/win/c              ntfs            noauto,ro,user,uid=1000,gid=100         0 0
/dev/hda2               /mnt/win/d              ntfs            noauto,ro,user,uid=1000,gid=100         0 0
/dev/hda4               none                    swap            sw                                      0 0
/dev/hda5               /boot                   ext3            noauto,noatime                          1 1
/dev/hda7               /                       reiserfs        noatime                                 0 0
/dev/hda8               /home                   reiserfs        noatime                                 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom              iso9660         noauto,ro,user                          0 0

# Local encrypted FS that span an entire device
/dev/mapper/secure      /mnt/vault              reiserfs        noauto,noatime,user                     0 0

# Local special system FS
none                    /proc                   proc            defaults                                0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs           defaults                                0 0

# Non local FS
//sealion/private       /mnt/sealion/private    smbfs           noauto,username=xxx,user            0 0
//sealion/private       /mnt/sealion/public     smbfs           noauto,username=xxx,user            0 0
//sealion/private       /mnt/sealion/temp       smbfs           noauto,username=nobody,user             0 0
