Not sure what this means

I got this error message after I rebooted the system after building my kernel, things seem to be ok I just see this message and trying to get rid of it. Any advice is appreciated.

Some local filesystem failed to mount !!

Is there some log I can access to see what it is trying to mount, is this even a serious problem?

Im no expert but I think your problem lies in the /dev/BOOT, /dev/ROOT and /dev/SWAP sections. If Im not mistaken the install instructions say
