I got it to mount from the f8 side and copied over about 30GB of stuff, but 
thought I'd add it to fstab.  On the reboot it of course upchucked all over 
itself and dropped me to a shell to fix it.  Unforch, I cannot find a way to 
fix it because its mounted read-only EVEN if I changed the kernel lines 
argument from ro to rw.

So how DO I get write perms to the filesystem so I can fix /etc/fstab?
