There are two issues here:
o The bootblocks get the SCSI unit number wrong in cases where
IDE drives are also attached.
This is to be expected. There is just insufficient space
available to the bootblocks for smarter logic.

Incidentally, do these bootblocks contain the BTX patch I sent you,

This are the boot loaders from last night, just after make
You need 'set num_ide_disks=2'
The variable's somewhat misnamed, and I'm still groping for an
algorithm that'll get it more or less right without screwing the pooch
should we ever improve the root mount detection in the kernel.
Set that where? At the disk1s1a: prompt

The old bootblocks have a build setting BOOT_HD_BIAS to work
