It appears that you are running the commands from the live CD, by doing that you cannot confirm the menu.lst or fstab files because they are located on the installed disk not the ram disk that the Live CD is using.
First mount your root partition onto a new directory in the Live CD root, (ie.. sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp;sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp}, once that is done you can cat /mnt/tmp/boot/grub/menu.lst and cat /mnt/tmp/etc/fstab to see the proper output.
The issue is either with your boot paramaters in manu.lst or the partition table in fstab.
Please post the results from your physical partition here for review.

results from the previous command
sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
