error about failure to mount is you have two entries in /etc/fstab for root ( / ) partition. The correct entry based on fdisk output is sda3 ... so comment out the first entry in fstab (see above). The last line of fstab starting /dev/sda3 is mounting your root partition.

Ed: btw up arrow lets you scroll through command history and down arrow key lets you scroll back down through the command history ... select the command you want and either hit enter or edit it to what you want before you hit enter

Good call. My thoughts too. just thought I would check whether it continued booting anyway.
