Did the disk get identified as sd0? Some sparcs have the root disk set to
SCSI ID 3. The GENERIC_SCSI3 kernel changes the mapping for ID 0 and 3 but
the GENERIC kernel does not. Is it possible that the kernel sees your disk
as sd3? Do the boot messages show:
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0:
or
sd3 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0:
?
