[plug] SATA drives on another system

I've had to put a pair of SATA drives on another system (motherboard
failure) and now I get the following on booting up:
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_sis.o
Journalled Block Device driver load
pivot_root: No such file or directory
sbin/init: 432 Cannot open dev/console: no such file
Kernel pani: attempted to kill init

>From there it stops, if I go into Grub when it's booting (pressing "e") I
issue the commands:
Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386
savedefault
boot

The savedefault command fails with an invalid command.

Anyone know how I can get this server back up and running? It's only for a
short time period?
