Re: boot with incorrect FSTAB info?

Hello all,
I just finished config'ing my new 2.6.8 kernel (debian, not vanilla) form 2.4
(both Sarge) and am ready to boot to it but due to my SATA hard drive I will
need to change my boot and /etc/fstab (from here on referred to as FSTAB)
entries from hd* to sd*. I have no problem doing it in grub but when it
comes to FSTAB I have some reluctance. Does anybody know a way for me to
recover and be able to boot into the system for me to fix the FSTAB file if,
for some reason, the system still won't boot?
This is my only computer system, and only Operating System, that I have over
here (living in Korea). So if I lose my system it will be a problem for me.
Would a rescue floppy/CD be an answer? Would the rescue mode of grub allow
me to get to a prompt to manually mount my partitons and than fix FSTAB?
Get the Knoppic CD.
You mess up fstab. The system is unbootable.
You boot from the Knoppix CD. Fix fstab. Done.
