how do i know what the root partition is?
i gave the option:
root="/dev/hda"
in the config file.

Labels are your friend here.   E.g. on my machine 'borlaug' I have:

        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26.6-49.fc8 ro root=LABEL=borlaug-root

which I set using the e2label command from Dom0 (e2label will also report the current label). This works especially nicely when you have to switch between hd/sd and xvd devices, e.g. installing in HVM mode but running in paravirt, the device changes but the label stays the same.
