Just pick another partition I suppose. fdisk -l /dev/hda will tell you which ones are on your disk. Mount each of them (if they are of suitable type - it's of no use to mount your swap partition) and see what is there. As /dev/hda3 is usually the root partition, and you have /boot there then you may have your root on /dev/hda1 (it would have to be really big boot...) or on some other one.
