Hi,

My config is:

wd0 : MSDOS (40 MB) + FreeBSD-stable  (/ /var /usr) + booteasy
wd1 : FreeBSD-current (/ /var /usr) + booteasy 
sd0 : FreeBSD-current (/ /var /usr data) + booteasy
sd1 : FreeBSD         (data)

My wd1 is dying, so I'm switching to sd0 as my bootable -current drive.

I disabled wd1 in the bios to be able to boot from sd0, and changed my
kernel to 

config          kernel  root on sd0 swap on wd0 and sd0 #dumps on wd0 
                                ^^^was wd1 here
 
controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr
disk            wd0     at wdc0 drive 0

#controller      wdc1    at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
#disk            wd1     at wdc1 drive 0
^^^^removed wdc1 and wd1

If I let him boot, it tries 1:sd(1,a)/kernel and fails at
`change root to sd1a'. Entering 1:sd(0,a)/kernel is ok.

How can I do this in the kernel config file?
