Slackware won't boot after partitioning
by fostgen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F7CJ)
So, I was playing around with my Slackware, which is installed on VirtualBox, testing some things (read: practicing commands and stuff) when one day after fiddling around with partitioning and file system changing, I somehow managed to break it.
Interestingly, my keyboard light indicators are going on and off like crazy, probably trying to tell something's not right.
Here is the link to pictures where I ran lsblk -f command, and where Slackware decided to stop from booting (LILO is my bootloader):

I don't know if it's just me but it seems there is something like an exclamation mark next to -sda1 and -sda2. What does that mean and how to get rid of it?
Now, I understand that it cannot find working init, but I have no idea how to fix that.
I ran fdisk /dev/sda to see what my boot partition is (and if I have at all) and it turns out it is where it should be:

And another interesting thing is that when I tried mounting /dev/sda to /mnt it said something like /dev/sda is write-protected mounting read-only.
