When the system is booting you have normally have a 5 second window before grub starts loading. While it is counting down, hit return. 2. This brings you to a menu. 3. Type "a" to add to the kernel parameter. 4. Add a "1" (one) to the end of the line...don't forget the space first. 5. Hit return. This will boot the system with just the "/" file system mounted. You can then use vi to edit your fstab. -- Flying saucers on occasion Show themselves to human eyes. Aliens fume, put off invasion While they brand these tales as lies.
