[ale] ext3 recovery

[Geoffrey]

I still don't understand why it won't boot.  I would expect it to boot, 
but, if you can get your hands on a Tom's root/boot, boot from there, 
mount this drive to a tmp directory, either change the /home entry to 
reflect the proper device, or use /sbin/32label to create a label for it 
and reboot.  I would change it to a device entry type value myself.

Or, if you can do as someone else suggested, remount / with rw perms 
after you're dropped to the shell and edit the fstab file from that point.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
