Help changing /etc/vfstab - can't boot

I have Solaris 10 Express that I installed on a PC with two drives. It was on drive 1 (with the boot drive being drive 0). Linux was in a different parition and my boot options where managed by grub.

The Solaris parition's /etc/vfstab referenced the root, user, etc.. disks as c0d1sX. But since I remove the original boot drive, the new disk has become d0. So naturally when I attempt to boot Solaris it craps out.

I can boot single user, but / gets mounted read-only and therefore I cannot change /etc/vfstab.

The CDROM drive doesn't work, so I'm left with few options.

Is it possible to get the root filesystem mounted rw so I can edit the /etc/vfstab?

If so, how?

Thanks.
