well you are ALL screwed up. the setup you intended to have and what
you have put in your fstab are 2 totally different things.

if /dev/hda1 is root then you should have
/dev/hda1 / (not /mnt/hda1)

if /dev/hda4 is home then you should have
/dev/hda4 /home (not /mnt/hda4)

if /dev/hda3 is data then you should have
/dev/hda3 /data or /mnt/hda3 if that is where you want it

where in the world did you get the above fstab from?
