Ok here is what I did. I made a 9.10 USB startup disk. Ran it without
installing it. Then I opened the fstab file with the root and changed it
to:

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
/dev/sda1 / ext3 norelatime,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
/dev/sda5 /home ext3 norelatime,noatime,nodiratime 0 2
# Entry for /dev/sda6 :
/dev/sda6 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

As in exactly what Steve proposed. Then I rebooted and no juice.

While I was logged in I did get a warning that my hard drive has many
bad sectors. Could that influence the matter?

Also previously before I tried all this, I tried to run a different
kernel before the boot, and I could choose from 3 different 9.04
kernels, .11 .15 and .16 if I am not mistaken. Isn't that weird when I
just upgraded to 9.10?

I think I am just going for a reinstall with 9.04, but I wanted to post
this for clarification. Hard disk needs replacing any way.
