One of my machines is behaving strangely (it's running RH5.0).
Everything was fine until I rebooted today (with minor changes that
shouldn't matter).  Now, when it reaches the fsck, it claims that the
partitions (/usr /usr/local /var and /scr) are not configured or not
present.  Here's the output:

[/sbin/fsck.ext2] fsck.ext2 -a /dev/sda5 
fsck.ext2: Device not configure while trying to open /dev/sda5
Possibly non-existent or swap device?

et cetera. Similar output when I try to manually mount:

> mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/sda5 /scr
mount: /dev/sda5 is not a valid block device

What's going on?  How can I have lost four partitions, just like that?

Thank you for any suggestions.
