    Sorry the syntax is wrong

    try

    mount -n / -o remount,rw

    if still no worky

    It may be that it is not mounted at all I guess. Since I have never been
    where you are I don't know for sure. How did you get to a command
    prompt? What messages are there?

    I am assuming that the / filesystem is mounted since you could at least
    get to a single user command prompt. I believe the kernel gets the root
    file system information from the boot loader so it should be mounted
    even without an fstab but the mount command wants to look in fstab to
    translate the mountpoints (/) to a device (/dev/hda2)

    what does

    mount

    return?
