This has come up enough for me to change the bootblocks a bit..
here is the change I suggest:

> * floppy or hard drive *
> \***************************************************************/
> part = unit = 0;

> to:
loadstart:
/***************************************************************\
* As a default set it to the first partition of the boot *
* floppy or hard drive *
\***************************************************************/
part = 0;
unit = drive & 0x7f;
#ifdef BOOT_HD
maj = (drive&0x80 ? 0 : 1); /* a good first bet */
#else
maj = (drive&0x80 ? 0 : 2); /* a good first bet */
#endif
I'm checking in this change now.....
define BOOT_HD to make it default to hd(1,a)/kernel
If that fails in the older boot code:
replace
part = unit = 0;
with
part = 0;
unit = 1;
maj = 1;
