Hi,
  Ok this is a casualty of the rd->md change.

The root device should be /dev/md0a rather than rd0a. The boot loader
needs updating for this although in the mean time you can enter md0 by
hand.
A second side effect as that the allocation of the ramdisc was done with
the boot option ramdisc=1440K (put in by the bootloader when as ramdisc
size was set).
This option should now be memorydisk=1440K again another change in the
boot loader is required.

Currently this can be worked around by adding the extra option

memory disk=1440K		(The space is important)

I'll put a new version of the bootload archive online ASAP.
