Define system root at kernel configuration file ? Kind of:

--- cut ---
# Kernel root file system and dump configuration.
#config=09=09netbsd=09root on ? type ?
config=09=09netbsd=09root on sd0a type ffs
#config=09=09netbsd=09root on ? type nfs
--- cut ---

This works when i boot from USB FlashDisk which is recognised as SCSI ove=
r USB=20
at sd0 and netbsd is located at sd0a partition. I had about the same prob=
lem=20
with ordinary "root on ? type ?" when init lookup code didn't treat SCSI=20
disks as potential boot source. So i wonder if the following will fail:

config netbsd root on wd1a type ffs
