my best guess is that when you updated your baselayout, you overwrote your
/etc/fstab file and didn't modify it to look the way you had before. since
/dev/root is just a symlink to your root partition in your /dev directory,
you can point whatever you like to the actual partition (on my box, it's the
usual /dev/hda3).
so i'd suggest that to fix it, you could edit /etc/fstab and replace /dev/root
with whatever you like, just remember that whatever you change it too has to
be pointing to the right device and partition.
