hi guys

I need your help

the fstab file in my /etc directory has been corrupted and is now blank.
Linux will not boot to run level3.  Infact it boots to a single user read
only file system mode.  I cannot edit anyfiles on my box.  I cannot run fsck
as it says that the fsck passno is missing from the fstab file.  I have
tried running fsconf in an attempt to rebuild the fstab file without
success.  Does anybody know how to resolve this.??

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Regards
Ruari Jansen
