Not merely trying but succeeding.  The kernel output is from the preceding
state of the machine,  with a 1.1 file system and a 1.2beta kernel.  This
works OK - i.e. it boots and runs perfectly happily.  Installing a wd0 in
this box with 1.2 on it boots and runs happily - one can then access sd0
perfectly OK but root/swap are on wd0.

Booting with -a I can tell it where the root is,  and it comes up with sd0
as the root.  But it doesn't find any swap space and it doesn't ask where
swap is.


Not being able to run from any of my SCSI disks is a real pain.  I'm close
to trashing 1.2 and going back to 1.1.
