Did you search the archives?  This question has been discussed before.

Basically the entry in your /etc/fstab file is pointing to the wrong
filesystem for your root filesystem.  If you know what filesystem your
root fs should be on then you can pass this as a parameter to LILO:

"linux root=/dev/hdXY"

Then fix your /etc/fstab file for future reboots.

If the machine was booting before then you probably have changed the
disks in the system around.  Alternately its possible that the disk has
died.
