Well, if I don't tell you, then you won't find out why your machine won't boot.
(-:

Think of it this way - if you built a SunOS kernel and specified something like

	vmunix		root on sd0a swap on type spec sd0b

and you booted it on a system with no sd0, but an sd3 instead (i.e., yours)
you wouldn't very well expect it to come up, would you?

Theo's TDR2 kernel has support for sd0 on SCSI target 3 and sd1 on target 1.

If'n you want a custom kernel that supports sd0 on SCSI target 0, you'll have
to swap the IDs until you can get it running, and then download the source and
ultimately build a new custom kernel (I'll tell you how as soon as I figure
out how to build kernels (-: ) with the targets assigned how you want them.
