This all seems OK.

This is OK.  wd0 isn't looked at since your'e not trying to boot
from it, so Ontrack isn't seen to be on it.  It would be seen when the
DOS partition is mounted if you got that far.

Now if I use hd(1,a)/kernel.GENERIC -v (which I know I am 
>not supposed to)...

>It shows these extra lines after the "0 accounted for"

This is normal.  hd(1,a) becomes wd0a, which you don't have, but
Ontrack gets noticed when wd0 is looked at in the failed attempt to
open wd0a.
