I was playing around with installing bind points to a LXC and I was trying to permanently mount a USB drive so I entered a mount command in fstab. When i restarted now Proxmox will not boot up. I cannot get the GUI to load nor can a ssh into it. Initially I could not even get a ping reply. I unplugged the USB drive and now I can get a ping from it, but still cannot access the GUI nor ssh in. Any idea how I can correct this? How can I back out the fstab entry if I cannot ssh to it? Thanks in advance.
 
I don't see how an fstab entry would prevent ssh from working, but maybe just connect a screen and keyboard and login to the (Linux) console? Or does the machine have some IPMI capabilities (but I have no experience with those)?
 
Thank you! I completely did not think of connecting a screen. I did so and backed out the fstab entry. Now it boots. Thank again!
