Hmm, I don't think this is true - the kernel pays no attention to |
| 5 |
/etc/fstab when mounting the root filesystem (obviously - / isn't |
| 6 |
mounted), so the worst that can happen is that you're stuck with a |
| 7 |
readonly / and no /usr, /var, and /home. Now, this isn't a lot of fun, |
| 8 |
true, but it's definitely bootable and repairable - that's the point of |
| 9 |
the root filesystem. |
