Not having a text editor is no big deal. You can just use cat to create
a file, such as:
cat > /mnt/etc/fstab
[your fstab is typed here]
[now send EOF (^D)]
If you really, really *need* a text editor to create a file during
installation, you can use one on another system and then send the result
over the serial port.
Be creative.
