I don't think so, because actually I've made boot floppy with loader and kernel and
then did the following:
1) booted loader from floppy
2) changed currdev in loader to point to my HDD (set currdev=disk1...)
3) boot-off kernel from floppy (boot disk0s4a:kernel)
This sequence I've repeated on ISA based computer (my Toshiba laptop) and on PCI
based desktop using *the same* diskette. In the first case kernel was trying to mount
wd0... but in the second - ad0... To ensure that it is not bootblock problem I've
just reinstalled both boot0 and boot1 on my laptop but it still trying to mount wd0.
