Sounds like a job for one of the live CD distros like Knoppix, Mepis,
Damn Small Linux, Ubuntu, etc.
Just boot up with a live CD (I'm assuming you have another working
system you can use to download and burn the ISO to disk), and edit away.

Or he can just boot the Debian installer, hit Alt-Right and end up at a
(albeit, basic) TTY terminal. For something as simple as this mond
really doesn't have to go as far as the Ubuntu LiveCD.

Or just boot the install CD in rescue mode. It should mount the root
drive so that he can run a shell chrooted to / so that he can edit
/etc/fstab on the drive and not /etc/fstab in the ramfs of the installer
environment.
Alternatively, he could boot his regular box with init=/bin/sh so that
only the / filesystem is mounted ro and /etc/fstab doesn't get read and
nothing gets mounted. He'll have to remount / rw so that he can then
edit and save a corrected /etc/fstab.

You should be able to boot by adding the boot parameter
"init=/bin/sh". After you get a prompt with that run "mount -o remount,rw /"
and then fix fstab. When you're done, run "mount -o remount,ro /" and
exit the shell. The system should reboot.

Put your "Debian Install CD" into your drive an boot up...
At the prompt type "rescue" and follow the instructions...
