Yep, that method works for now.  

I was hoping its easy enough to crack this myself (with some online 
tips & references) but John Baldwin convinced me otherwise :-)

So here's the entire configuration attached..

SUMMARY: 
The boot disk (ad0 in attachment) is not the problem.
There are two other IBM SCSI disks attached to two Adaptec cards.
Its these other two SCSI disks-da0,da1 which are empty and
whose disklabels I played with.  These cause a BTX error if
they are plugged in during a boot.

TIA,
-Sandeep
