When you get the shell try to type

modprobe pata_macio

then see if you have new stuff in /dev/

At least one ATA controller should work with this module. If you are
lucky and your HD is connected to this controller then press ctrl+D and
it will boot fine. Then do this:

  echo pata_macio >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
  update-initramfs -u

Otherwise you will have to figure out which ATA controller you have in
your machine and then determine which driver module will run it.
