Well I have been known to do stupid things. This is one of them.I changed fstab to mount another drive automatically. I messed up the entry. Now the system boots to management level ((none) prompt) and makes the hard drive partitions read only.There is no text editor available to edit fstab - assuming that I can write to the file. How do I get out of this mess.
To remount / as read/write: mount -o remount,rw /If you have a separate /usr partition, you'll need to mount it to get access to your editors:
mount /dev/hda2 /usr(or whatever is appropriate; if /usr is correctly specified in /etc/fstab, you can just "mount /").
Edit /etc/fstab as needed. Then "exit" or "reboot". -- Kent West westk@acu.edu
