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].
