There is no menu.lst in ubuntu 10.04.
Instead it uses grub.cfg.
The contents of my /etc/fstab are,

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
