Thats /etc/fstab for linux. Note that late linux's can operate on
both a path, as in /dev/sda3, and a label, which in his case would be
/, in other words the base of the system. The disk may be labeled,
and the label is being used in /etc/fstab rather than the /dev/device
nomenclature. tune2fs can apply labels to partitions if the
filesystem is late enough.
