You must edit /etc/fstab and put your filesystem definitions in there. As the other poster said, /dev/ROOT (or /dev/BOOT) is just a placeholder, not what you are actually supposed to put there. Last night, I booted into single user mode to fix it. Couldn't remember which partition was which, so I made a temporary directory, ran fdisk to list the partitions, then mounted each partition on that directory, to see which partition it was. Then unmount, do the next partition and so on. Luckily I remembered that /var was the only non-ext3 fs (reiserfs), because I'm not sure how to find out what type of fs a certain partition is (w/o it being already mounted of course).
