 I can type in a "?" on prompt "root device (default wd0a):"
 I got "use one of: ath0 wd0[a-p] ddb halt reboot
 
 Before that I have the following lines:
 
 boot device: <unknown>
 root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
 vfs_mountroot: can't open root device
 cannot mount root, error = 6

 I can read:
 wd0 at atabus0 drive0
 wd0: <TOSHIBA MK6028AL>
 wd0: 57231MB, 116280 cyl., 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 117210240 
 sectors
 
 I didn't noticed any cd, sd or ld
 
 I tried to install NetBSD-5.2.2 one hour ago... It was running so far 
 but if I tried to install sets from cd the installation fails because 
 "no such device" (cdrom)...
 
 If it would be interesting (maybe that can help): I tried to install 
 OpenBSD 5.5 and it works...
