Worryingly, I've just encountered this whilst doing a dist-upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. The 9.04 installation was a complete re-partition and install on an Acer Aspire one, so it's possible that the remains of the toy Linux distro it came with caused the confusion; also possible is that the problem is that the root filesystem is ext2.
Whatever, an Acer Aspire one installed with 9.04 over the toy Linux and then upgraded to 9.10 is probably a pretty common trajectory. I've recovered the system by specifying the root filesystem as /dev/sda1 and I'm not proposing to do anything further. If I can provide any more diagnostics, please shout.
