For what it's worth, it's not essential for /etc/fstab to be perfect to boot. The kernel mounts whatever partition grub tells it to mount. If that conflicts with whatever is in fstab then the kernel ignores fstab. You don't need a swap partition to boot. You don't even need an fstab. It'll be ugly, some of the bootscripts will fail, but there's no reason why it won't boot to a command prompt and let you log in.
