To just change the fstab, boot the CD, mount the root partition then |
| 15 |
nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab should do it. Assuming you mounted to |
| 16 |
/mnt/gentoo like in the install. |

You should NOT have to chroot or anything to do that. Make sure you do |
| 19 |
the -w option on nano. I didn't the other day and it booted but it gave |
| 20 |
me a lot of errors. It put the 0 0 on the very end on the next line. |

To err is human, I'm most certainly human. |
