Two ideas:

Either make the kernel call your slave disk "wd0", i.e. add
a line like this before the wildcarded wd* lines to your config file:

wd0	at	pciide?	channel 0 drive 1 flags0x0000
or
wd0	at	wdc? channel 0 drive 1 flags 0x0000

(depends on to what kind of controller your drive is connected to, the
numbers may be different for you of course.)

or "hardwire" the root device to wd1a with:

config	netbsd	root on wd1a type ?

(I hope, I haven't misstyped anything.)
