I'm not sure I understand.  Your /etc/fstab on Mandrake should minimally 
reflect what is necessary to boot Mandrake, /, /boot if you have one. 
It doesn't need to have any references to other OS root or boot 
partitions as you'll specify where to find those based on their hardware 
names (/dev/hda...)

If you're using lilo, be sure to run lilo after modifying your lilo.conf 
and before you reboot.
