It’s time for everyone’s favorite thread! By the looks of it a good chunk of the forums are dedicated to providing answers to this and proprietary drivers. After scouring the forums and reading this page. I modified my fstab file. After doing so and rebooting, it took me into the emergency shell where I restored my backup. Here is the original, unmodified fstab.

Here is what I modified it to which is apparently incorrect.

I don’t mean to ask just to have someone do my work for me but after a while of messing with it and not figuring anything out I can’t seem to make any progress. Any help comes greatly appreciated. Thank you.
