Has the boot loader / kernel been changed to allow booting off of the
secondary IDE master yet, or more  correctly, has a solution been found (for
3.0-STABLE)?  I have been using a patch created by somebody on the list from
a few days back that has worked quite well.  However, I have noted a lot of
activity surrounding the boot process.  I don't know if I missed anything,
but perhaps this works now.  I have been using the following in my
loader.rc:

    set currdev=disk2s1a
    set rootdev=disk2s1a
    boot /kernel

Is this still necessary?  I have tried building the kernel without the patch
and leaving my loader.rc as is and it still tries to boot off of wd1 instead
of wd2.  Is there a new parameter perhaps?
