tried your command but it did not work...was asked to specify file system.
where do i specify the filesystem? i tried placing -t ext3 after mount and
it says mount point rw does not exist
i actually don't have a backup of fstab in another place but i can edit the
fstab file as i can roughly remember devices name

Daniel -

I assume that you have the original fstab on the machine somewhere?  You
may have to remount the / fs since it is mounted read only in some
circumstances.

mount / -o remount rw

should be close and you can cp the old fstab
