I don't understand completely this error message. It mentions both 
EXT-2 and MS-DOS. I assume that your root filesystem is ext2.

Ok, to mount an ext2 filesystem:
	mount -t ext2 /dev/<partition> <mountpoint>
>From what I see above, your partition should be /dev/hdb1. A typical mountpoint is /mnt.

But beware, don't try to mount is without fsck'ing it.
Try, before:
	e2fsck -f /dev/hdb1
And see what it says.
If it cannot fix the problems, then you'll have to use an alternate superblock, but that's another story.
If it works, you can try to mount it on mnt, check that about everything is ok, and reboot.
