The results of 'cat /etc/fstab' is useful, but it won't necessarily tell us what your partitions are. It only tells us what your linux partition is configured to think the partitions are.

It might be more useful if you post the outputs of the following commands:

1) fdisk -l
2) cat /etc/lilo.conf
3) ls -l /dev/cdrom

This will tell us:

1) What your actual partitions are (run as root)
2) What your boot manager is configured to use.
3) If your cdrom link actually points to the real CDROM device.

And as E already chastised you for, you must run either 'halt' or 'shutdown -h' to properly shutdown your machine before powering it off. (must run as root)

Also, you can use 'shutdown -r' to have it reboot.
