Back
No. I took the hard route and formatted and reloaded the root partition.
I know there had to be a more simple solution but impatience ruled my
actions. Anyway, I'm back in service now. Thanks for the comments and
help everyone.
Bill

Were you using volume groups?

Hi Nigel.
It said there was no file system to mount. Then it always put me in a
read only shell.
It doesn't mount under /mnt/sysimage because it says there is no
filesystem available to mount. I can't copy the fstab.orig back to fstab
because of the read only shell problem.
Thanks,
Bill

It should do. In what way does it not work?
Your root filesystem should be mounted under /mnt/sysimage, so the file
you want to rename would be /mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab.orig.
