Re: ext4 conversion screwup
I don't know if that's necessary. Your system should fail to boot, then drop you to a maintenance shell. At this point, it should be possible to:
mount -t ext4 /dev/sda# /mnt/fix...edit fstab, then reboot.

Re: ext4 conversion screwup
ok, so much for my initial worry. i rebooted, hit the kernel panic, but rebooted with the fallback image just like outlined in the wiki. then i changed my fstab and ran mkinitcpio. why is it that the fallback image still mounted the partition with the fstab set incorrectly?
