So.. I take it that my solution for you did not work? Is this again because
of your 2 different / direfctory? (1 for RH8 and another for RH9)??

Try something before you reinstall. I'm a little lost as to what is
installed on which partition.

Try booting this way again and cd into the hdb directory. This should
be the '/' tree if the fstab you showed eariler is being used.
If it is, cd to /hdb/etc. Look at the file /hdb/etc/redhat-release.
This will tell you which RH distro's '/' tree you are looking at. If it
is RH 9, look at the /hdb/etc/fstab. If that is the fstab you included
earlier, then fixing it will likely fix your problem.

Change it to:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
or (if you are sure what partion your RH 9 root tree is on):
/dev/hd(xy) / ext3 defaults 1 1
If what is in /hdb isn't your RH 9 release then I am at a loss for now.
Worth a shot before a reinstall.
Good luck
