BTW, if you find yourself in this situation, you can get out of it by using one of the boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Initrd%20break%20points In this particular case, break=bottom works well as it mounts the root partition, allowing one to fix the /etc/fstab before continuing the boot process.
