It's been eons since I had to fix a typo in fstab. It can been a real pain so here is a quick way to fix a typo Boot you mythbox and control-d then type Code: df -hT This will show the existing mappings (/dev/sda1 is the most like culprit) Next, download Knoppix 7 http://download.cnet.com/Knoppix/3000-18513_4-75186118.html create a cd from the iso In bios set you mythbox to boot you dvd drive first Boot the knoppix cd Open up a terminal session Code: su mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ cd /mnt cd /etc nano fstab save your changes and reboot. Then change Bios to boot HD First and your back in Business |

Also possible to use the LinHES install cd instead of the knoppix. Or even easier is skip the CD stuff and use the mount command after df. |

A little more info about the options I tried Behind Door #1 - Control-D and ran nano but I only had read access so the help mentioned remounting with -o, rw option. What is the correct syntax? Behind Door #2 - Booting the cd but have not done it that way since knoppmyth eons ago. What is the procedure to do it that way with R8? Behind Door #3 - Simple, straight forward, works great with only a cd, and the knoppix 7 breakable animation is neat.... |

I tend to use the PartEd Magic CD for this. It's specifically set up for initialization and recovery work and makes stuff like this a breeze, but any decent bootable ISO should work. |
