The kernel resides on > "1:wd(2,a)/kernel", the secondary master. Modify /boot.config on that disk to have `1:wd(2,a)/kernel' in it. You have your disks split across the controllers and this confuses the heck out of the boot blocks. Move the disk to the primary controller. If you don't want to do that, you're going to get the obligatory ``can't mount root''. If you really really want to have the disks split, then follow these instructions: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged).
