Hi:

Do this to repair:

# mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.old
# mount -a

edit /etc/mnttab to say /dev/vg00/lvol3

This could be a solution:

# mv /etc/mnttab mnttab.old
# mount -a

You need to fix the mnttab file like so ..

# cd /etc
# mv mnttab mnttab.bad
# mount -a
# bdf

Check /etc/fstab and make sure it has the proper entry for /dev/vg00/lvol3. Otherwise, the problem could reoccur.

/dev/root is caused by changing init levels vs. rebooting.
