About problems with modifing mtab I did a simple solution. I had a problem for
modifing the mtab file the file that you NEVER have to touch. I modified it, and
when I tried to reboot my linux box but  unfortunately when the boot hangs on:

  Setting /boot/System.map to the current running kernel

The easy way that I found was a thing that Luis Palomero and Colin Watson puts on
a comp.os.linux.setup and was this.
Boot the linux box and write when the lilo boots:
linux (or the name of your kernel) init=/bin/bash

#after check your partition
e2fsck -C -c -p -v /dev/(your / partition)

#remount / with -n option

mount -n -o remount,rw /

#delete the mtab file

and reboot.

With this few steps I resolved my similar problem. The next thing you have to do
is write on I paper 1000 time as I did
"I will never touch the mtab file"  ;)
