Hi all,
so i decided to install gentoo again (last time was a year ago)
I'm not much into linux so i went by the gentoo handbook.
Looks like i left my fstab like this:
/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,naotime 1 2
/dev/ROOT / ext3 naotime 0 1
/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0
which ofcourse should have sda1/2/3 instead of ROOT BOOT and SWAP duh 
I'm not able to edit the fstab file, since it's read-only and i can't figure out how rescuing w/ the liveCD works.
How can i fix this now? A step-by-step guide would be appreciated

these are the steps u must do to login in your system:
| Code: |
1. boot off a live-cd
2. # mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/gentoo
3. # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
4. # mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/gentoo/boot
5. # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
6. # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
7. # env-update
8. # source /etc/profile |
now u are in your system, and u can fix what's wrong
reboot:
| Code: |
1 # exit
2. # cd /
3. # umount /mnt/gentoo/boot
4. # umount /mnt/gentoo/proc
5. # umount /mnt/gentoo
6. # reboot
|
if any part is unclear plz ask, i will explane in detail.

@sade
You need not do
| Code: | | mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot |
It already exists. |
