This is the first time ever that I ended up with an unbootable kernel
after a new install, and I have no idea where to start.  This is a
fresh install of Gentoo 2007.0 minimal CD stage 3, using the x86 quick
install guide.

Here's the error I get at boot while the kernel is loading its device drivers:

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I am using grub, with conf file just like in the install guide (I
happened to use the same file system set-up):

title=Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/sda3

I have a SATA drive in my system, which seems to get loaded fine by
the kernel, at least from what I can tell - there seem to be no error
messages to that effect.

I suppose I could do a genkernel, but I'd like to be able to tell
where I went wrong with my config...  Where do I start looking for
this?
