what does fdisk says about this disk ?

also, why is it called wd4 ? are there other drives in the system ?
Are you sure the BIOS disk you boot from matches this one ?

Another reason why /boot may not be found is that you used the wrong
first-stage boot sector: bootxx_ffsv2 with a ffsv1 filesystem or
vice-versa.
