What boot type are you using, GUID or MBR? Have you made sure that the NForceATA kexts have been properly installed?

Many have already encountered this problem. Refer to these resources here: http://osx.kbot.de/search.php?PostBackAction=Search&Keywords=root+device&Type=Topics&btnSubmit=Search

I have heard about this too, but I have never experienced it in a real-life scenario. ;D
