That's Red Hat putting the root file system on an LVM logical volume. Ugh. I hate when that is done.
You might have a shot at getting something to mount if you do this for starters: pvscan vgscan lvscan If LVM finds the logical volume, and there aren't any conflicts, it might create a device node for it. You should then be able to mount the resulting logical volume.

Also, I am curious why df shows the root file system at /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00.
