Here's my /etc/fstab:



#
# /etc/fstab
#
# <device>    <mountpoint>   <filesystemtype> <options> <dump> <fsckorder>
/dev/hda5       /               ext2          defaults,ro    1      1
/dev/hda4	/drive0		ext2	      defaults,ro    1	    1
none             /proc          proc          defaults



I don't recall modifying this ever, so this should be what the player was installed with. I can't fully follow the grammar of your post, because I think there must be a typo in there. But, it seems like you're saying that an mtab file's not getting created, and that's because / is ro? And that might be something causing ext2fs_check_if_mount to fail?

I'm connecting to the player via ethernet right now, but I'll try to force the creation of the mtab entries the next time I drag the player into the dungeon to connect to serial. I'll report if that changes any behavior at all.
