First, I simply messed up, happens to us all from time to time. I lost power on an laptop running 8.2. Restarted it but for some reason the fsck didn't run and I lost some /usr files. I tried to do an fsck manually but because it's mounted I got nowhere. So I put a comment ("#") in front of the /usr line for the /etc/fstab file. Now, I can't boot. I need what's on my disk -- of course!
