It seems your system tries to boot from the first hard disk. The kernel waits on drive two, as your disk layout shows. Either install a bootmanager able to switch to the second hard disk, reconfigure your disk layout to include / on the first hard disk, or modify /boot/boot.conf to load from the second hard disk [read the man page on the last option, this is from memory].
