FC5 boot annoyance!

[Neal Becker]

I just found out that if /etc/fstab lists a partition to mount, and that
device/partition isn't found, it will drop into filesystem repair.  Just to
make it even more annoying, I can't fix /etc/fstab, because / is mounted
ro, and mount -o remount,rw / doesn't work either.

I had to go find a rescue disk.

IMHO, bad entries in /etc/fstab (non-root) should just cause a warning.
