Umm, that's odd - sounds like installboot tries to read from rwd0a or
something. Did you run installboot by hand or is the installer hosed?
( sorry, I'm not very familiar with the installer. Usually I find it
more convenient to disklabel / unpack / installboot by hand but that's
just me... )

Anyway, to get the disk bootable do this:
- copy /usr/mdec/ofwboot into your new root fs ( wd0a I guess )
- run installboot /dev/rwd0a /usr/mdec/bootblk /ofwboot
I'm not sure if you need to unmount wd0a for this step. The 3rd
parameter is the path to the 2nd stage loader /in the filesystem the 1st
parameter points at/.

Make sure the filesystem on wd0a is FFSv1 since the boot loader still
can't handle FFSv2 or LFS.

You could just have kept the 2.0 partitions.

have fun
