I installed NetBSD 1.4.1 on an external 2 GB  Seagate ( the  machine is
Beige G3 266)
now at startup it always asks me for root device. This is before rc script
is run.
The messages I see:
wswcons: wskbd0 glued to wdisplay0 ( console)
boot device: <unknown>
root device: - I enter sd0a
dump device: (default sd0b) - <enter>
file system( default generic)) - <enter>
root on sd0a dumps on sd0b

.... blah blah, boot continues as advertised.

One thing I find strange is that it refrers to my disk SCSI ID 4 as sd0 .
Shouldn't it be sd4 ?

 TIA Andy
