Hi,
Try to hit a key when the system ask you at boot time, and then write (if my memory doesnt fail me) set root_device=2, or something like that type help to see the right way of doing it, the type boot and you are done, but dont forget to write the same thing into /boot/loader.rc file, in order to continue booting correctly your system.
Merry Xmas
Ales
