Interesting. Putting the comma in all 6 lines made them all fail one at a time. The failure message in /var/log/boot.log says mount: unknown filesystem type 'loop' mountall: mount /tftpboot/howtogeek/linux/ubu1004DL32 [745] terminated with status 32 and I find no reference to loop in a man fstab though I do in mount. I am wondering if the guide I am using may have been written by someone who manually mounted as a loop device and then wrote the article and assumed it was a valid type for fstab. I have never understood loop devices. Is that why you said you did not know why any of them worked?
