Can you boot single-user and send me the output of 'mount'?

If you are showing "root_device" on /, you need to re-sup, rebuild and 
reinstall your bootblocks, then go back to your old /etc/fstab.

Note that mount and fsck are supposed to ignore the /etc/fstab settings 
for / if they can work out what's already there.
