Subject: new kernel doesn't find its root device by itself

Hi,
I upgraded my sparc from 1.3D to -current as of friday, I've got something
strange: the kernel doesn't find the root device by itself, it as me
for it. If I enter 'sd0', normal boot goes on (dmesg appened below). 
As I use this machine without console most of the time (I use it as
a big hard disk I can plug on an ethernet) it's a bit annoying :)

Then I tried to build and install new boot blocks, but installboot complained
that the new boot blocks are too big ... I guess it's because of the last
changes to it ?
So I reverted to the 1.3.2 boot blocks.

Any idea of what could be wrong ?
