/dev/ROOT looks like a default setting in /etc/fstab
Check this file from the LiveCD and change ROOT to your root partition device (hda2, hda3 for example) if it hasn't been set already.
If this is not the problem then you will have to elaborate more. When and where are you getting this message?

It appears your yaboot config is wacked. Did you try to run yabootconfig (the automatic config generator) on your G5? Currently this utility does not work on the G5's.
So to resolve this you will need to manually edit your /etc/yaboot.conf
You can find more information here
In regards to your kernel (this step must be completed before you configure yaboot.conf)
| Code: |
emerge ppc-development-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make && make modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/vmlinux /boot/vmlinux
|
You can find more detailed information and step by step instructions here
If this is the first time you have configured yaboot run mkofboot -v
or if you are updating your yaboot config run ybin -v
And last but not least verify the contents of your /etc/fstab and any other files you are unsure of.
