Thanks. Yea when I do vi it syas something like vim not found.

You may have to give specify the fully qualified path to your editor.

But, if worse comes to worst, you should be able to fix this with the regular
"standalone" tools in /bin and /sbin. Take a look and see if you still have
grep and mv in /bin or /sbin.

If so, then
/bin/grep -v the-device /etc/fstab >/etc/newfstab
/bin/mv /etc/newfstab /etc/fstab

as in
/bin/grep -v /dev/hda4 /etc/fstab >/etc/newfstab
/bin/mv /etc/newfstab /etc/fstab

I won't inflict ed(1) on you - the grep should be good enough for your
problem. ;-)

FWIW, you /should/ be able to fix this with no more than the builtins in your
shell, with a quick shell program. But that sort of fix is usually beyond most
casual users.
