I stuffed about booting kernel.GENERIC from the second CD.
It has the same problem but tells me it's looking for
its root on da0 (where it's not). I managed to get
this CD booted by telling it cd9660:cd0a is where it's at
but couldn't manage that at the "ok" prompt when
booting from the first CD or floppy. I tried
set rootdev cd9660:cd0a
but that didn't help.
Can someone advise as to which srm or loader commands
I can use to convince this that it's root device is
where it actually is?

BTW: The CD is at DKA0, is this confusing it?
