How would said genius > bypass fstab or correct the error during boot? Boot single user, which won't mount anything. Then remount / read-write, mount /usr (for an editor, only if it's not part of /), edit /etc/fstab. linux single at the lilo prompt, maybe? For Unices, boot -s always works (BSD or Sys V) in my experience, so perhaps giving a -s flag to a Linux kernel will also work. If all else fails, init=/bin/sh. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
