Boot up your hard disk (moving it if necessary) then: If you get the message: panic: Cannot mount root At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1.

Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged).
