Something like: . . . config kernel root on wd1 . . . controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 disk wd2 at wdc0 drive 1 controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr disk wd1 at wdc1 drive 0 disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 That should get it to boot off the second disk properly.
