Here's what finally worked: I couldn't load any of the editors, so I mv fstab fstab.old, then cat fstab.old. Then cat > fstab and I retyped all of the entries removing the 's1'. Then I did shutdown and rebooted, only because procfs complained about an I/O error. After I rebooted everything mounted fine and now I'm back in business (and this Lose95 laptop can go back to being a paperweight) Thanks again.
