  Yes, I'm sorry I should have clarified than I'm using an NCR scsi
controller.

  The miniroot did go into partition 'b' and thats what I booted.
When it prompted for a root parition I entered 'sd1b' and no dump
device since that made the most since to me.  Is that incorrect?  I
copied the ramdisk to sd1b so why is sd1b not the correct root device?
No other slices have been populated yet so that's all that I tried.

  Hmm.  This did not happen.  I'm at work now and away from my U5 but
I will play with it more tonight.  It seems like anything I did bombed
out with fsck errors of some type and complaints about / (the ramdisk)
being full.
