Kevin....use a rescue disc. The 6.1 cd came without one. But
there's an image of one called tomsrtbt (it's
/mnt/cdrom/images/rescue/tomsrtbt.img) on the 6.0 cd and on
distro's prior to that and on RedHat's cd's there's an .img file
called rescue.img. These can be put on a floppy from dos with
the rawrite.exe program and then you can boot your system with
the floppy. Booting with any of these will put you in a
mini-distro in the console mode with access to your Linux
partitions so you can modify your /etc/fstab file.
