Looks fine to me:
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID system
/dev/hda1 * 1 5 40131 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 6 193 1510110 82 swap
/dev/hda3 194 4982 38467642+ 83 LInux
40 gb drive...just as I set it up about 2 weeks ago....

Was running fsck when your email came in :) it's resierfs ... "internal
tree" looked ok, "Semantic tree" looked ok - No corruptions found
the mounting produces (using same gentoo mount sequence - I used while
boot strapping):
swapon /dev/hda2
no std out
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 03:03) ...
Using r5 hash to sort names
Removing [228367 634440 0x0 SD]..done
Removing [229888 469925 0x0 SD]..done
Removing [173836 168767 0x0 SD]..done
There were 3 uncompleted unlinks/truncates. Completed
reiserfs version 3.6.25
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
no std out
I can get to my data after these mounts (now to find enough space
somewhere else to backup...)

3 partitions, so......

1 is boot - 32 Mb, 2 is swap - 1.5 Gb 3 is the rest... (simple setup...)
