When you get the boot prompt, type  1:wd(2,a)kernel    and if it boots
for you add that line to /boot.config.  That's for the first partition
on the master disk of the secondary controller.  I think 0:wd(1,a)kernel
would boot the slave on the primary.  With those two examples you should
be able to figure out what you need if your config is different.
