(see below) >Description: Trys to boot the second SCSI drive (happens to be a removable Iomega Jaz) when it should be booting from the first SCSI disk (Micropolis 9Gb). I did a clean install on the Micropolis drive and it failed to boot when it tried to mount my Jaz drive instead. I had 2.2.6-RELEASE installed on this machine for a year or so now without too many problems. It also insisted on booting from my Jaz drive, but 2.2.6 had the option to type in a ``boot point'' which I did religiously, 1:sd(0,a)kernel. After reading the docs, they seem to indicate that I could put the kernel location in /boot.config and everything should work; however, I have no way to create/edit a file... I have booted the kernel with a -v and saw nothing odd and also configed it (-c) to remove some extraneous devices (the ethernet devices and other SCSI adapters).

Presumably you've tried "set rootdev"? Also, what's your dmesg look like?
