With the 2.1.6 everything went alright! Thanks! The system is confused about what disk is where. Make sure sd1 is the disk where the system boot files are located. If they aren't, twiddle the SCSI IDs as necessary to boot the system, then build a new kernel and wire down the SCSI IDs to devices. See LINT for instructions.
