You could try boot from the a cdrom if you have one, mount the drive and then look around get more information. I would try, from the the fixit system on the cdrom, trying to mount different partitions to find out what partitions are mount-able. You may then edit your /etc/fstab file (make a copy first). Once you have more information on the condition of the drives, you'll be in a better position to post your next question, or just fix it.
