If you have the rhel cds then put the first one in, reboot, and at the
prompt type:
linux rescue
eventually you will get to a shell where you:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
and then vi /etc/fstab

How can I hash out the line if I can't boot past the error? After several
reboots (and after my original email), I was finally able to have it ask me
for a password or to hit Control-D to continue. Problem is that once this
comes up, my keyboard is locked up and I can't type anything. During the
bootup I can pick the kernel and so on.

RedHat 4.x system.
I am trying to boot a linux system that has 4 HD's. 3 of them are on in a
raid 5 configuration and the other one is the boot drive with the OS on
it. When I boot the system, I get the message
/var/spool/mail contains a file system with errors, check forced.
The file system in question is the raid and is 500GB in size. I let it
run for several days at boot up but it never came out of the file system
check and the hard drive lights stop blinking after only about an hour,
give or take. How can I tell it at boot time to NOT do a file system
check like this so that I can get into the system and either run it
manually or format the partition again.
Suggestions?
Thanks
Steve
