i think i made an error when making my reiserfs fs on /dev/hdb3. i should normally be able to mount it like so from the livecd right?

Code:
mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb3 /mnt/gentoo


it gives me some error about not finding a valid reiserfs partition or something, i dont remember the full error. i stumbled upon this when trying to fix a problem from booting up:

Code:
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on /dev/hdb3


so i definitely messed up on making the reiserfs on /dev/hdb3 right? :(

When you ran fdisk did you set the partition type to 83?
