hello,

my slave disk is dead , i have remove it and now i can't boot the system , i have an error after the kernel bot , the only things i can do is put my root password or press ctrl-D and reboot the system.

in the shell i'm trying to delete a line in my fstab with VI , but when i save (:wq!) i have a error , the file fstab is read only

..... but i'm the root user ......

who i can edit the fstab ?

Thanks
