just a thought... what does your /etc/fstab file look like? The filesystem type error looks like something you'd get if your fstab was set up wrong...
from the looks of your /boot folders, you have no kernel... Personally i've never used genkernel, so i dunno if you have to manually copy it over or not. However, i'd check the following location to see if there's a kernel there that genkernel made. the 'standard' name for the kernel is bzImage and is located in /usr/src/linux/arch/<arch>/boot/. You need to copy that file to /boot (make sure you mount /boot first). Then you should be set.
