RoR Getting Started Guide: Rake db:migrate undefined method 'reference'

Question

I'm following the RoR Getting Started tutorial. Having created posts, I'm now adding the second model to create comments. However, when I try rake db:migrate I get this:

** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Invoke db:load_config (first_time)
** Invoke rails_env (first_time)
** Execute rails_env
** Execute db:load_config
** Execute db:migrate
==  CreateComments: migrating =================================================
-- create_table(:comments)
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

undefined method `reference' for #<ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::TableDefinition:0x1084a24d8>

Migrations with references use the references helper, you probably just forgot to put the s in the end.

Find the offending migration db/migrate/20120710225337_create_comments.rb and change from reference to references
