/bin/sh is a symbolic link, so you will need to verify that /bin/bash
exists as well - but I suspect that is not the problem...
Looks more like a problem with booting to the wrong filesystem. We
probably need to know what the first few error messages were rather
that the final result. Have you changed to boot config recently?
What is the kernel command line?
