Summary: fsck needs better error handling for rootdisknode

Initial Comment:
I updated linuxbuild1 and the system wouldn't failed to
fsck the root while booting a base kernel with a
message about the disk not being a valid ext2
filesystem. The issue turned out to be the rootdisknode
file. The file existed, but had a blank line. (I don't
know how this happened.)

We need to put out useful errors if the rootdisknode
file does not exist or cannot be parsed.

I have commited a fix to take care if rootdisknode is not
existent.  But I am not sure how we check corruption. We
don't have any idea regarding whether it is a valid node
entry or not. Yes we can check whether it is a numeric or not. 

The fix for first part is already in CVS
