Boot Failed

Wed Jun 24, 2020 10:07 pm

I was trying to mount a network drive and added the line
//192/168/0/101/Martha /home/pi/TV cifs guest,_netdev 0 0
to the etc/fstab file. Now when I restart I get the 4 raspberries at the top of the screen then
[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot.
see 'systemctl status boot.mount' for details
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.
Starting Preprocess NFS configuration...
Starting Raise network interfaces...
Starting set console font and keymap...
then a series of things marked as OK then
You are in emergency mode. After loggin in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to try again to boot into default mode.

Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.
See sulogin(8) man page for more details.

Press Enter to continue

When I press enter I get the splash screen and teh You are in Emergence mode stuff again. HELP!!!!!

Fixed it. Took the SD card out of my Zero and booted from that SD card. Mounted the other SD card with a USB and edited the fstab file. Replaced the SD cards into the appropriate Pis and all works again.
