Having (I think) successfully done a hdd install of knoppix V3.2-20-05-2003 I have a system that's up and running properly again. All I've done extra so far is run pppconfig then apt-get to pull in a few extra apps. I was having a poke around and was a bit puzzled by my /etc/fstab file.
During hdd install the three existing partitions were found; hda1 bootable ext3 ~ 1GB, hda2 swap ~ 1GB and hda3 ext3 ~ 8GB. I choose to leave as is, and in answer the the q. which one to set as / I went for hda3. Fine everything works, but (the important parts of) /etc/fstab looks like

/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0

What happened to (the only bootable partition) hda1? If I don't need it, I'm quite happy living without it though from a purely athestic point it'd be nice if hda3 could be renamed hda1 then... But where's the machine booting from and how do I recover the extra space available on the hdd that doesn't appear to be in any partition. Lastly, what should I do to make /cdrom (a cd-rw) writeable and appear as an icon on my desktop.

Many thanks!
