That should be '/dev/rwfd0c'.

That's actually slightly intentional, as booting 'wfd' disks is broken 
at the moment.

You will want to adjust your kernel configuration to reflect the fact
that 'wd1' is on the second controller, not the first.  When you do
this, copy the kernel to /kernel.new.  Then move the disk and reboot
kernel.new to make sure it's going to work.
