Change the config line to read:
config kernel root on wd1 # <-- wd1
and rebuild the kernel.
You can reboot the original kernel as
kernel.old or kernel.GENERIC
At the boot prompt, enter
kernel.GENERIC -cv
and you will come up with the GENERIC kernel in the config mode.
Or, you can enter
kernel.old
and boot the previously built kernel.
Be careful with the last one, every 'make install' moves kernel to
kernel.old and installs a new kernel. kernel.GENERIC is never
replaced, unless you do it manually.
