Make sure that /etc/fstab has the correct devices/fs for each partition.
Usual error is that people leave it with the default entry e.g.
/dev/ROOT instead of the correct /dev/hdb3 in your case.

Also, check if you have chosen reiserfs and have not selected this as a
*built-in* option in your kernel (not a module).  The default kernel
config does not select reiserfs.
