   Ian,   
      
   The problem is because although /dev/hda8 is no longer there, you still have   
   it in your fstab file. You'll need to either remove the line:   
      
   /dev/hda8       /media/hda8     ext2    defaults        0       2   
      
   .... or comment it out by preceeding it with a #   
      
   Cheers.
