Question Ctrl+D error.. Redhat not booting up... cannot edit /etc/fstab.


I am new to redhat.
first of all apology if posting in wrong section.

well my problem:
i kind of wanted to give userquota to a user and ended up messing up /home label name etc in /etc/fstab
which has resulted in Ctrl + D error at bootup.
i tried editing fstab entries but it says no permission or similar.

how to remove this problem ? plz help


PS: anyother then linux rescue dvd method?

You may have to mount the root r/w - from the shell you drop into (<Ctrl>-D) enter this to see your current mounts
Code:
df -hT
