[ale] Box freezing during boot sequence

[Robert L. Harris]

Try booting at the LILO prompt with:


LILO: linux init=/bin/bash

that should put you at a bash prompt.  You can then do:

mount -o remount,rw /
mount /usr (if needed)
vi /etc/fstab
sync
umount /usr
mount -o remount,ro /
ctrl-alt-del (reboot/init won't work)




Thus spake Ryan Fish (FishR at bellsouth.net):

>    commenting out the fstab entries but I need a way to get to them in order
>    to do that.  Would a disk-based OS such as Knoppix allow me to do this? 
>    If so, what do I need to download and where can I find it?
