after you select the second disk you get a chance to enter some options.
if you do not enter any options it will continue on as normal thinking it
is the 1st master.  when it looks for root on the first master it panics.
to correct this type

wd(2,a)

after you select the second disk from the boot manager

if you put that line in your /boot.config file you will not have to do that.
at least I think it is that file.  it might be /kernel.config
