Subject:   kernel thinks it's on sd1, when actually sd0?

After reinstalling FreeBSD (2.1.0-R, 2.1-Stable-snap, 2.2-Current-snap)
the kernel boot sequence determines it's on sd1, and proceeds to try and
mount root there.

I have no sd1, and the system properly finds the drive during the boot
sequence as sd0.  I can make the system boot properly by either using the
"hd(1,a)/kernel" option at init, or the "-r" option at init.

When I boot with hd(1,a)/kernel, the init lines indicates that I'm not
booting from sd0, not sd1, as it would default.  This doesn't seem to be
an option during my kernel build, so what might be wrong?

This is an Asus Pentium 133, Triton, 32meg RAM, a Western Digital EIDE
drive as 'wd0', and a Quantum Empire 1080s hanging off an NCR 810.
