I believe that I made a boo boo recently when recovering some unused disk space. Without going into painfully embarrassing detail I need to delete an entry in fstab for a now non-existent logical volume.
The system reports that the there is a bad superblock for said logical volume. Mainly I expect because there isn't one anymore. How do I edit fstab so as to remove the mount request? For some reason the system will not boot from the cdrom and the I for interactive option is just blown by when the HDD boot starts.
I discovered the problem with the cd-rom. It is just that, a cd-rom, and I was trying to boot from a dvd rescue disk. I have corrected that problem, edited fstab, and rebooted the system, apparently with success, so far.
