Perhaps I should have been clearer about why I can't boot. When I do, I
get these lines and the process stops:

EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock
mount: error 22 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
