bootdev=wd0a sets the boot device to wd0a.  For domain0, you can set it in
grub's menu.lst on the xen12load line and for other domains you can set it
in the config file in /usr/pkg/etc/xc12, cmdline_extra = "bootdev=wd0a".
For other domains you can also only export the disk you need and/or play
some tricks with the disk ordering.
