Hi
I forgot to comment out a line in /etc/fstab, now when my machine
boots up it keeps dropping to a filesystem check and asks for
teh root password. My question is how can I get to edit the
/etc/fstab file on bootup or via grub?
Please help.
Thanks Dan
1) at the grub prompt, hit 'a' to append options 2) add
'init=/bin/bash' to the kernel command line
Why bother when the distribution initscripts will take care of this
and drop you to a nice root shell (which has working job control and
everything and won't panic the box if you accidentally hit ctrl-d or
something :)?
Bryn.
3) mount -o remount,rw /
I could have sworn I used to have to add '-n' to suppress /etc/mtab
updates, but I haven't tried in a while...
