Since his root filesystem is read-only, he needs a bit more help I guess |
| 13 |
because he can't simply use his favourite editor to edit fstab. Well, he can |
| 14 |
but he can't write the changes to his harddisk. ;-) |

You boot from a live cd (any actually). If it is a gentoo live cd you mount |
| 17 |
your root partition under /mnt/gentoo. If it is some other cd you have to |
| 18 |
find out where to mount. Now you cd to /mnt/gentoo/etc and edit fstab. Write |
| 19 |
it back and reboot the box without cd. |
