I think that /etc/fstab is indicating what your problem is.  At the time 
you first built devices, your external drive was the second device on the 
chain (perhaps your CD-ROM drive was off at the time).  So, fstab thinks 
that it is still the second device.  However, the boot message shows that 
it is now the third device on the chain (after your cd-rom).  To fix 
this, you need to rebuild/make devices using the installer utility 
(unless there is a specific option to simply remake the /etc/fstab).

Later.
