yeah, you need to also change the etc/fstab on wd0i to use /dev/wd0d as
root.  That should get your new shiny domain booted ;-)

Once this works, you should be able to look at wd0's disklabel inside the
new domain and see that it has entries which don't make a lot of sense.
I don't know how to handle this better since we want to use a disklabel
if there is one, but if you export a partition to a domain and this
partition happens to be where the actual disk's disklabel is stored, it
gets rather confusing...
