is /dev/hda1 your / partition?
if it isn't, if it is /dev/hdb2 or something, then boot from the rescue floopy
so :
linux root=/dev/hdb2

you can boot with the floppy even if you have hw(hdd) problems.
if you cannot boot with root= explicit given, then boot with the
installfloppy, wait until he wants to have rootfs disk, give it him,
and when the installscreen comes, alt+f2 and you have a shell.
