I hate when I do stuff like that. :) Boot with the installation CD and select the repair option. The /etc dir on the hosed drive will be mounted in something like sysimage/etc (It should tell you where it's going to mount the partition(s). I don't do it often enough to remember exactly). Use vi to edit the fstab file as needed. PGA -- Paul G.
