^^^^^^^

this doesn't look right, it should probably be something like:
/dev/hda2                 /                       ext2    defaults        1 1
/dev/hda5                 /boot                   ext2    defaults        1 2
/dev/hda7                 /home                   ext2    defaults        1 3

but thats just a guess. also you don't really want to be fscking to filesystems 
on the one drive at the same time! which is the reason why the second '2' 
should be a '3'
