    RedHat nash version 4.2.1.10 starting
    mkrootdev: label / not found

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Either there is a problem with the drive, or the disc has been munged, interfering with the root (/) partition. You need to boot a recovery disc (CD/DVD/USB) and see what has happened.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
