Bug Description
-------- Update -------
This bug was originally reported in 11.10 development testing. This is still an issue in 12.04: the /etc/fstab now has a swap.disk entry (although different to that of a normal wubi install from an ISO), but it still is missing the ' / ' root.disk entry
It seems like this issue is benign, but it's a little confusing.
-------
Wubi installed from wubi-r234.exe. It downloaded image i386.tar.xz.
There is no /etc/fstab file (or rather nothing in it)
bcbc@ubuntu:
# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM
There is therefore no swap enabled either and the system performs sluggishly on a low spec computer. The /host/ubuntu/
cbc@ubuntu:~$ sudo swapon /host/ubuntu/
swapon: /host/ubuntu/
bcbc@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkswap /host/ubuntu/

Reinstalled today with amd64.tar.xz. The file system is still ext3.
There is now a swap and an entry in fstab, but it's different to other disks/swap. disk none swap sw 0 0
releases:
/host/ubuntu/
on older releases it looks like this: disks/swap. disk none swap loop,sw 0 0
/host/ubuntu/
Also there's still no entry for /: disks/root. disk / ext4 loop,errors= remount- ro 0 1
/host/ubuntu/
and proc:
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
