I upgraded my Ubuntu version from 10.10 to 11.04 alpha and on reboot got an error "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

When I press M I get the normal command prompt, how do I get the correct drive mounted??

First guess is that there is an incorrect entry in /etc/fstab. Another possibility (hope not) is that something is wrong with one or more partitions or the drive / controller.

Suggestions:
-boot from liveCD/liveUSB and check integrity of partitions (using gparted for example)
-mount your root partition and take a look at /etc/fstab for anything wrong (you might try using /dev/sd? instead of UUID?)
-worst case scenario, there is a repair install option from the liveCD/liveUSB

You should restart the update manager again. There was an update that was justed released for that not to long ago.

Try Root filesystem check fails after power failure during installation

It worked for me.
