Hello kernel hackers:

I am using Julians boot blocks and scsi driver.

But when I boot from my scsi disk, the kernel issues the message
"changing root to wd0a" and then it panic's.

It seems to be confused about my boot device.  

Has anyone else had these problems?
Where does the boot device get set?

Thanks in advance,
Brian
