Opps. I forget that you can't access /etc at this time. So please try:

#Replace ext with the file system you are using( if you have set )
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /etc
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb5 /root

I am not sure if you have to mkdir -p /etc /root

Btw, is there any reason for installing / into /dev/sda but /etc and
/home to /dev/sdb?
