Why on earth would you do that?!

VI works just fine in single user mode... you've trashed the table, I don't supose you've backed it up prior?

Anyways here is my fstab.  I have two hard disks, each with two partitions.

/dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
/dev/sd0b /usr/src 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2
/dev/sd1a /usr/local/apache/htdocs 4.3 rw,noquota 0 3
/dev/sd1b /usr/local/apache/htdocs/files/books 4.3 rw,noquota 0 3


Keep in mind this is from a cube on scsi disks.

On a machine with IDE it'll look like this:

/dev/hd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
