FSTAB Hell

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R]

If some problem develops with /etc/fstab Fedora stops loading
and offers to either invoke a single user shell or reboot.

Unfortunately the single user shell is on a readonly filesystem.
This defeats the purpose of going single user to fix it, doesn't it?

This happens with the current Rawhide and back to at least FC7.

Ubuntu allows one to proceed under this condition.
