The root of the filesystem is /, not /root... I think you get the device
busy error because in the installer, after you choose the scsi id, the
root partition gets mounted for you. Anyways, the partitions you mount in
the installer don't carry over to the booter... Make sure in the booter
options, the Root SCSI ID is set to 2. If it is, hmm... I dunno what the
problem is then :)
