I have been able to boot from the Fedora CD and go into rescue mode and
mount the system under /mnt/sysimage.
I assume pico, vi, and emacs all run though I haven't tried them. I was
assuming it was a hardware physical configuration error on my part.
I can't remember off hand what partitions are where but I think /boot is on
hda and FC1 root is probably on /hdb2
