Hi Christoph,Please note that he is booting his system from a rescue floppy, therefore booting into single user mode.
I can't imagine how this can happen without the use of etc-update...
Boot into the live CD. Run e2fsck on your hda1 and hda2.
Do the chroot routine.
Edit the /etc/fstab and change the /dev/BOOT to your real device (/dev/hda1) and change the /dev/ROOT to your real root device (/dev/hda3). Same with the /dev/SWAP (/dev/hda2 most likely).
Make sure the filesystem type is what you formatted them as. e.g. reiser, ext2, ext3, etc.
Make sure your grub or lilo correct.
Then you can run # passwd root to enter your root password.
If you already ran useradd, then run # passwd <enter your username here>
Then remove the floppy and/or the live CD and try to reboot to your hard drive system.
