Do you have a boot floppy and rescue disk? The boot floppy you can make in DOS
on another machine. If you have Mandrake 6.1, you need to get the rescue.img
on the net, since the cd doesn't have it. Boot with the boot floppy, when you
get the
lilo prompt, put in the rescue disk and type rescue at the lilo prompt. You
should be
able to mount your root drive and fix the /etc/fstab file to NOT have the ro in
the
mount commands.
