I had to boot from a LiveCD and delete fstab and mtab and replace them with the old copies I made before I made any changes to them. Thank God I always make backups of files before tinkering with them. Everyone should have a copy of a LiveCD. AlmostFreeLinux.com has MandrakeMove LiveCD for, I think, $5.00 - this really saved my ass.
