This is likely because the partition containing /etc is mounted read only. To remount /etc read write, type the following at the root prompt: # mount / -o remount,rw This presumes you _don't_ have a partition especially for /etc, if you do the command would be: # mount /etc -o remount,rw You should then be able to edit /etc/fstab and save the changes.
