Boot problems after system install

This is the inital boot after my base install. Here is the error message I get.

*Checking root filesystem ...

ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/ROOT is mounted.
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open to open /dev/ROOT
/dev/ROOT:
The superblock could not be read or does not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

* Filesystem couldn't be fixed

[ !! ]

Give root password for maintenance
(or type Contol-D to continue):

Any suggestions on a fix for this?

nagual,

You didn't edit your /etc/fstab to reflect reality.

Boot the liveCD.
mount your root partition on /mnt gentoo
