If I remember right:
1) find the device,
cat /proc/partitions
2) make a mount point
mkdir /tmp/toto
* You cannot mount it in / because let's say, the partition found in 1,
already contains an /etc directory. This is also the case for a live CD.
3)mount the partition found in 1 to /tmp/toto
* If there are errors, they will be displayed.
* You can also do a fsck to the partition before the mount
4) cd to /tmp/toto
ls -als . | egrep fstab
5) vi the file found in 4.

Okay then, ohw do I do this; Another easy way to do it is boot from a
livecd, then mount your /dev/sda1 (or whatever partition fstab is on) to
/mnt and edit it from there. Please write the entire command.

Again, AFAIR, It remains to be seen as I don't have a Linux on hand.

If that were the case the system could not boot since it would
look for
things in /boot and /etc, not /tmp/etc...
The remount command David gave should work, although different
distros
may do this differently.
Another easy way to do it is boot from a livecd, then mount your
/dev/sda1 (or whatever partition fstab is on) to /mnt and edit
it from
