Try cfdisk.
The file system will be whatever you set it up for when you installed Gentoo.
Yes, I already tried before after starting the Gentoo box with CD1
cdimage # cfdisk /dev/hda
FATAL ERROR: can't open disk drive

Hmm. I see others are saying it might be genkernel also - did you run it? Something is strange as emerge -u world doesn't normally hose up files like this.
Anyway to fix it boot the live CD, then mount the parititon gentoo is on as /mnt/gentoo, cd to /mnt/gentoo/etc and edit fstab. You can do this with any files you need to fix.
Hi,
IIRC during 'emerge -u world' I saw on the screen upgrading
'betagenkernel' All were done automatically without asking a question.
Kindly advise how to find out the filesystem.
# fdisk -l
only showing 'Linux'
I need to know the FS of /dev/hda3 otherwise I am not allowed to mount
TIA

It looks like you ran etc-update and let it overwrite everything. You need to fix fstab so it has your devices instead of /dev/ROOT, etc. and put the right type of file systems in.
Do not delete the tmpfs line - it's used by Gentoo.
I have not run 'etc-upgrade'. The problem happened after 'emerge -u
world'. Some other folks on the list or forum also fell into the same
trap.
Now my problem is that I could not start 'Fail Safe' anymore. Neither I
am allowed to key in root-password to login as ROOT nor to login as
USER. I can login just pressing 'ENTER' but on a read-only system. I
am not allowed to edit /etc/fstab. Any suggestion?
TIA
