Your problem is, somehow the mountpoint entries in /etc/fstab have messed
up. As a result the system cant find the root file system. At the 
Mount>
Prompt type ? to get a list of all the valid mountpoints. Then manually
mount all the mount points. Once you point the system the "root" it will
straight go into the single user mode. You can then go into /dev and see
what partitions are there. Mount the partitions manually and then open up
/etc/fstab in your favorite text editor and make the necessary changes. The
nnext boot onwards the box won't complain.
BTW, you wont be able to open any text editor until and unless /usr is
mounted. Because all the binaries (including the text editor, vi in my case)
resides in /usr.
