>Description:
Trys to boot the second SCSI drive (happens to be a removable Iomega
Jaz) when it should be booting from the first SCSI disk (Micropolis 9Gb).

I did a clean install on the Micropolis drive and it failed to boot
when it tried to mount my Jaz drive instead.  I had 2.2.6-RELEASE 
installed on this machine for a year or so now without too many
problems.  It also insisted on booting from my Jaz drive, but 2.2.6
had the option to type in a ``boot point'' which I did religiously,
1:sd(0,a)kernel.

After reading the docs, they seem to indicate that I could put the
kernel location in /boot.config and everything should work; however,
I have no way to create/edit a file...

I have booted the kernel with a -v and saw nothing odd and also
configed it (-c) to remove some extraneous devices (the ethernet
devices and other SCSI adapters).

System Info:
Pentium Pro 180, 128Mb RAM
SuperMicro P6SKE Motherboard, rev.1009971445
4.3Gb EIDE HD     Primary Master
IDE CD            Primary Slave
Imation LS-120    Secondary Master
Adaptec 2940U/UW SCSI Adapter, BIOS v.1.25
Micropolis 9Gb    (Unit:LUN) = (0:0)
Iomega Jaz 1Gb    (Unit:LUN) = (4:0)

BSD installed on Micropolis (ad0 ??)
Micro$oft Win95 on EIDE HD

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot...
