Maybe http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/#scsi_device_numbers will
help you.

But, why did you do it with -current kernel sources instead of the same
version that you were using (2.0RC4)?

To temporary fix this you should be able to boot with the -a flag and when
the kernel asks for the root filesystem, enter sd1.

In general, unconsolidated kernel and userland shouldn't cause panics and
if they do, it's a bug, not your error.

After install, no. But this probably doesn't help you, because you need to
have a working kernel first to install the -current userland. (newer
kernel is compatible with older userland, but not vice versa, so if you
install -current userland while you are still using old kernel, you are
lost.)

The document seems confusing at least.
