[Voyage-linux] /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS does not exist

[cereal]

I've been trying to install voyage on an old neoware thin client, however I
keep getting the subject's error message. Previous to this plan I was
running a custom CentOS. The message is 

ALERT! /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
(initramfs) _

Unfortunately the thin client only has usb1.1 so i havent been able to hook
a cdrom or flash drive into it to install. Instead I have been using a USB
multi reader for a 2GB CF on my laptop to install it both by going through
the readme and by installing by booting my laptop into the live cd. I
imagine this problem has something to do with the installation thinking the
CF is /dev/sdb whereas in the actual thin client it is registering it as sda
or  something of the like. I have tried editing grub to reflect what i
guessed it should be, but to no avail. 

with the shell that it drops to there is no output for cat /proc/partitions
and fdisk -l gives "fdisk: not found." I'm stuck now and was hoping that
someone else had an idea. 

I plan on picking up my desktop and replacing the HD with the CF reader (It
is IDE CF reader), however I havent had the opprotunity yet. 

If you've got any ideas please let me know.
