San:- The system is booting in the normal mode. When we go & edit the fstab
file, it shows chunks. If i try to save after the changes, it is giving read
only.

San:- Thru single user mode I could not boot thru. It is going for reboot
after saying, fstab could not found.
I think he can even remount to read write. After the
filesystem gets mounted, do this on the command line.
mount -o remount,rw /
San:- After boot thru floppy, if i mount (i knew the partition details),
like mount/dev/hda7 /, mount /dev/hda1 /boot then mount /dev/hda5/user. When
I give ex2fsck, nothing is happening.
Then edit /etc/fstab and correct whatever problems are there. Also
then try to find out how the fstab got damaged.
San:- it was fine. the server went down, when power went OFF.
