I'm trying to upgrade my DS3100 from 1.2G to 1.3_ALPHA, but the
kernel doesn't seem to recognize my root disk.

I have two disks, set up as follows:

/dev/rz1a on / type ffs (local)
/dev/rz1g on /usr type ffs (local)
/dev/rz0g on /usr0 type ffs (local)

I have no problems with 1.2G:

NetBSD 1.2G (GENERIC) #1: Sun Jun 22 21:35:15 PDT 1997
    jonathan@Reno.DSG.Stanford.EDU:/reno/compile/GENERIC
.
.
Beginning old-style SCSI device autoconfiguration
rz0 at sii0 drive 0 slave 0 QUANTUM Q250  76-45004 rev 66, 84294 512 byte blocks
rz1 at sii0 drive 1 slave 0 HITACHI DK312C rev CM74, 490656 512 byte blocks
boot device: rz1
root on rz1a dumps on rz1b
root file system type: ffs

But with the 1.3_ALPHA kernel (both the one from the 1.3_ALPHA
directory in the diskimage.tar.gz file [is there supposed to be
a seperate kernel in that directory too?], and the netbsd.aout from
the arch/pmax/snapshot directory):

I checked the GENERIC config file and it looks like it should still
recognize rz1...
Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas?
