On other ports you can use the bootflag "-a" to have the kernel ask for
the root device but on alpha this is used to enable multi user boot. I
don't know the equivalent option for port-alpha. But you can allways
hardcode the root device in the kernel config and compile a custom
kernel. Somthing like=20
config          netbsd  root on wd0a type ffs
--=20
