Hi Keith;
I don't remember the 'mapping' for the device numbers now but I
think that 03:01 is the first partition on the first IDE drive.
Is that really where your root partition is located?
If not, then you can patch the correct boot device/partition into
the kernel with the 'rdev' command.

I compiled a new kernel and now I can't boot. It stops with a message
like this:
Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:01.
I can boot my old kernel from a floppy, so can I fix it or am I screwed?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
