Accidentally commented out main drive in /etc/fstab, cant boot, any way to fix this without clean install?

Yall are gunna chuckle at this one, but in an attempt to resolve a slow boot issue, I opened up etc/fstab, commented what I thought was an unused drive causing the issue, and then rebooted to see if it resolved the issue.

In retrospect, I think I just commented out the main drive because now I can't boot. No backups either.

Is there any way I can fix this? Is there any way to open up the filesystem of my now defunct OS and edit that etc file when I can't even boot?
