Have changed the config line in MYKERNEL to 'config kernel root on wd2', the sound card changes, etc took effect but it's stilling looking for root on wd0. Looks like I could hardcode the /biosboot code and disklabel it but methinks I am missing something obvious. Any help for a newbie Unix user would be appreciated. Thanks.
