Ok, then what you saw is about the same as what I'm seeing, except the
disk _is_ at target 0. One of the reasons I was wanting to compile the
kernel to set sd0 to target 6 was so that I could bring both hard drives
on line and examine the 2G.

Let me ask - does bootxx ignore the user's requested bootloader and
automatically use what installboot put in?
