Device: Xperia X compact (by g7), SFOS 3.0.1.11 I edited /etc/fstab. Now my phone doesn't boot beyond the Sony logo. The LED turns blueish white. I can enter recovery mode, but from there when I go to 3) shell, I'm at a loss how to acces fstab. I probably have to mount something, but I don't now what or how. Going with vi into /etc/fstab gives me a fstab file in which I don't see my editing. Can anybody help?

Finally I could not wait and tried to mount the devices one by one as found by blkid (in recovery mode option 3):

/ # mount /dev/dm-0 /mnt
/ # vi /mnt/etc/fstab
/ #
After that I could delete the faulty line in fstab and reboot again ... Sorry to have bothered you all, thanks for your answers!

With my Xperia X Compact I had to mount /dev/mapper/Sailfish-home to get access of /home/nemo.
But I only could save my data. I couldn't save my installation so I re-flashed my phone. Still setting up everything.
Hope you are more successful.

On my device (XperiaX) I see using the mount command: /dev/mapper/sailfish-root mounted on /,so reading also the example from Vieno, I suggest you could try to mount /dev/mapper/sailfish-root on an empty directory - something like /mnt or /media or create a dir /media/root , let's say you are mounting it at /mnt .
mount /dev/mapper/sailfish-root /mnt
From there I suppose you may me able to go on /mnt/etc/ (/mnt/etc/) and you will find your fstab. Of course do a backup of the fstab ( I would suggest a full backup anyway ).
Before exit / reboot try the command: sync ; sync ; sync ; (yes, 3 times) which is used to write data on disk.
Please let us know how the process went.

Try /rootfs/etc/fstab...
